Indigenous Peoples' Day 2024 (10/12-19)

.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz said it best.

There comes a time when we must honor, rejoice, and celebrate the people who came before us, who were stewards of the land and its animals. That day is now called Indigenous Peoples' Day (second Monday each October) in the U.S., or at least parts of it.

• Whose land was this land? Native-Land.ca (our homes are on native land, and this website says who they were). Whose land did this used to be before our slow genocide on the Indigenous peoples?

An Inglorious Columbus (1885)

Many still cling to the biased past that held up genocidal crypto-Sephardic Jew (Spanish Converso), who was not an Italian. Not Italian? What was he then? He is buried in Spain; his grave was dug up, and his corpse was tested, showing that he was Spanish. As the discoverer of "America," though he only made it as far as the Caribbean and turned around, people are led to believe he was killing people up and down Mexico like a post-Columbian Conquistador.

• INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY (National Today)
• "Indigenous Peoples’ Day" is celebrated on the second Monday of October, on Oct. 14th this year, to honor the cultures and histories of the many Native American peoples. The day is centered around reflecting on their tribal roots and the tragic stories that hurt but strengthened communities.

What did the Natives like so much about Nature?

Those were the gold-seeking European missions that followed Columbus' report to Spain. He was An Inglorious Columbus:

Edward Payson Vining in 1885 documented that Buddhist Afghan and Chinese missionaries discovered the West Coast (Fusang) before Columbus. Leif Erikson was a European Viking who preceded Cristobal Columbus.

The Chinese call this fUSAng.

There is a well-founded legend of an Irish monk who made the voyage, taught the Indian tribes about governing in counties, and returned to Ireland. Fifty thousand years ago, Australian aboriginals seem to have left archeological evidence of their arrival. The truth is, ancient humans navigated the seas and knew of other cultures.

The crazy belief that everyone was separate and just doing the same sort of thing, like building pyramids for kicks, is preposterous. Cocaine did not get up the nose of an Egyptian mummy by dreaming of pyramids in the Americas. The Grand Canyon did not get ancient visitors who built an underground city and many monuments of an Egyptian, Buddhist, and Hindu sort just by happenstance. When we celebrate "Indigenous" people, we are celebrating all of the First Nations, the tribal groups up and down the Americas.

Lies My Teacher Told Me (J.W. Loewen)

There were 100 million people in what is now the USA, with plenty in neighboring Canada and Mexico, to say nothing of tribes all the way down to Argentina where humanity sort of just stops for the thing that is "Antarctica," not likely a continent but something much stranger.

'Best in Low' (lowriders), Los Angeles

Slow down! We're cruising, not drifting.

Over by the La Brea Tar Pits on Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles has a giant museum (temple) dedicated to the admiration (worship) of the automobile. Detroit may have built them, but they were built to be driven in LA, usually with the top down bathing in the sun, driving down Sunset Blvd. to the Santa Monica Bay. It's not very far, and if Sunset is too full of cruisers cruising American Graffiti style, it's east to jump on the Interstate 10 Freeway all the way down to the Pacific. The boulevard is called Sunset because this is where the sun sets, just as it rises on the Big Apple, a reference to forbidden carnal knowledge in the Garden of Eden. On the eve of Independence Day for Mexico, many Chicanos are having their cars on exhibit with a parade or caravan of vehicles to show off their slick rides near Little Ethiopia (Fairfax).

Cruise? It's time to peel out and get out!

(Petersen Automotive Museum) If you're lucky, you live in a town with a regular lowrider cruise, so you're familiar with the unexpected pleasure of seeing something glittering and striped in the next lane suddenly lift up like a stinkbug and drop low enough to drag sparks across the intersection.

Lowriding is a community activity like no other automotive subculture. The cars aren't built to be lightweight or quick in the canyons. They aren't for early morning drives or secret late-night meetups; they're designed to turn heads on the main street in town during prime time.

The goal is never to cross the line first, but to do it with the most style. At their most basic, lowriders are conversation starters; at their highest level, they are showstoppers.

All of this makes lowrider culture perfect for a museum exhibit, where those familiar with the art form can appreciate the chance to look more closely at cars they've only seen in motion, and those new to the scene can marvel, slack-jawed, at the incredible imagination, artistry, and history that goes into making the perfect lowrider.

Let's eat street Mexican food (cenavegan.com)

The new exhibit, "Best in Low," at the Petersen Automotive Museum (petersen.org) in Los Angeles is not the museum's first look at lowriders, but it is its best.

Walking through the gallery is like visiting the gemstone section of a natural history museum. Everything is sparkling and glowing, and a person could spend a whole day on a single car and not see every magical detail. More: Best in Low exhibit

Who cares about lowrider cars and culture?

Map of the independent tribal nations

First, we (New Americans) settle on the East Coast. Take a little land here, a little land there, establish a beachhead at Plymouth Rock then construct a fort, order some guns from England and Europe, drop some diseases on these savages, and in no time, we'll own everything up to the Mississippi.

We can "purchase" the rest for our Manifest Destiny because Catholic Rome says by the Pope declared a Doctrine of Discovery, so white Christian men can claim any savage land for God, which becomes Vatican property by default but is lent to those who find it as regents on behalf of the papal god-king.

The Doctrine of Discovery (1493) is preserved in international law and used by settler colonial states (US, England, Israel) to justify and excuse their violence and genocides.

• Part of ReVisioning History:

BOOK: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

American author Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 4,925 ratings. This is the first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples.

Today in the United States, there are more than 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly 3,000,000 people, descendants of the 15,000,000 [with some estimates saying 100 million] Native people who once inhabited this land.

The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial project has largely been omitted from American history books.

Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.

Native American woman, child, 1930

With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present.

In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing, eliminating, and erasing them.

Modern Apache in Pasadena to save Oak

And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under Pres. Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who in 1836 wrote of the Seminoles:

“The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.”

Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

This New York Times bestseller is now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck. It is a recipient of the American Book Award. More

How Indigenous music impacts modern genres

Beauty in pow wow regalia

(PBS Voices) Despite what popular Western culture may have most of us thinking, the sound of Indigenous (American Indian, First Nations) communities isn’t limited to wooden flutes and tom-tom drums. Indigenous music permeates dubstep, jazz, and even death metal. Aspects of traditional Native sound make up the heartbeat of rock’n’roll. Host Cheyenne Bearfoot explains how Indigenous music extends through every modern genre.]

Native American/Indians in the Americas go back at least 10,000 years, like Aztec dancers.

The Buried Secrets of the Native American Civilizations | 1491: America Wars

This series spins [an implicitly biased] tale about Indigenous peoples of the Americas before the Spanish explorer Cristobal Columbus arrived in the Carribean and went no further, never reaching or perhaps even noticing the mainland.

Each episode uses re-enactments to show a particular subject. Viewers learn about the art, architecture, archeology, science and technology of the [estimated 100 million Native people living here when this land was "discovered" and the program of rape and extermination, ethnic cleansing and slow genocide began].

Native American Heritage Month

The slow genocide of the original inhabitants of this land affects everyone here to this day.

.

(Wiki) November is "National American Indian Heritage Month," commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. The bill read in part that "Federal, state, and local governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities."

  MAFIA: Make America Free of Indians Again

  RACIST CONTROVERSY: On Halloween 2019, Pres. Don John Trump proclaimed November 2019 as National American History and Founders Month [14] to celebrate the first European founders and colonizers of America. On October 13th of the same year, he issued a proclamation recognizing Columbus Day and not Indigenous Peoples' Day [15]. Some journalists have suggested that "National American History and Founders Month" is nothing but a racist attempt to subvert attention from National Native American Heritage Month [16] and stifle Indigenous voices [17] by announcing a celebration that can be viewed as opposing and contradictory to what National Native American Heritage Month is supposed to highlight and honor [18, 19].

At least Marlon Brando tried to right the wrongs

This landmark bill honoring America's tribal people represented a major step in the establishment of this celebration. It began in 1976 when a Cherokee/Osage Indian named Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle authored Native American Awareness Week legislation the first historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples.

This led to 1986 with then Pres. Reagan proclaiming Nov. 23–30, 1986, as "American Indian Week."

This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, ways, and concepts of life. This gives Native people the opportunity to express to their community, both city, county and state officials their concerns and solutions for building bridges of understanding and friendship in their local area.

Federal Agencies are encouraged to provide educational programs for their employees regarding Native American history, rights, culture and contemporary issues, to better assist them in their jobs and for overall awareness.

Indigenous Peoples' Day 2022

Voice of America, Oct. 7, 2022; Xochitl, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

There are many lists. Just reading one? Make it An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US.

Indigenous History of US (Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz)

(Voice of America) Understanding Indigenous Peoples' Day was originally published at VOA News. This day replaces the mindless celebration of international usurper and torturer's day as genocidal mass murderer, rapist, ethnic cleanser, disease spreader, and slave driver Cristobal Columbus is displaced for leading the way to destroy this land and open it up by force for European invasion. Special thanks to Junipero Serra, other Vatican rapists, and the Spanish Conquistadores.

Baking: Making Bread from Weed (video)

The King of Random, Joseph & Joseph, Good and Basic; CC Liu, S.Auberon, Wisdom Quarterly

Dude, let's make bread instead of getting high.

A better gluten-free option would be to use sorghum, brown rice, quinoa, amaranth, tapioca, potato, organic corn, or even glutinous rice. Dr. Joel Wallach at criticalhealthnews.com warns that everyone who wants to be healthy will avoid 13 foods -- including wheat, rye, barley, and oats.

(Yes, oats are almost exclusively gluten, which the plant uses to protect itself from being eaten. The "gluten free" label refers to wheat gluten, because oat gluten is not called "gluten" but avenins, prolamins, or gliadins.) Gluten is starch-glue, as used in papier mache, that makes bread stretchy and chewy, which feels and tastes good but is harmful and addictive. It damages the lining of the intestines, curtailing absorption of nutrients like minerals and vitamins, and it contains comforting heroin-like compounds.

• No, oats are NOT gluten-free, here's why (ceres.co.nz)

Let's make veggie burgers from Impossible

Intolerance to certain gluten proteins includes oats: Gluten is present in wheat, barley, rye (as shown in this video), oat, and all their species and hybrids.^[2][21] So it cannot be "gluten free" even if the bag says so in big red letters. It contains hundreds of proteins, with high contents of prolamins.^[22] Oat prolamins, called avenins, are similar to toxic gliadins found in wheat, hordeins in barley, and secalins in rye (as in the weed here), which are collectively named "gluten."^[2] Avenins toxicity in celiac people depends on the oat cultivar consumed...
