Native America Calling: Slow progress on Indigenous issues awareness
Your National Electronic Talking Circle
Monday, October 11, 2021
The Black Lives Matter social justice movement called attention to just how unbalanced public awareness and recognition is for Native American issues.
Native people and their allies took to the streets, toppling statues and monuments that civic leaders long ago established to promote a decidedly white, colonialist—sometimes racist—viewpoint. Now elected officials are pondering what to do with statues of Christopher Columbus, Father Junipero Serra, and others.
Meanwhile the number of places recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day is growing and getting more organized.
