I am happy that you recognized IIndigenous People Day. It would be good to have dome more on the history and background of this day. Thanks for the interview.

* Columbus didn't just steal gold... for the papal or European countries.. He completed killed off the total population of the Arawaks.

* If you want more on Canada and boarding schools... I suggest that you recommend people watch LITTLE BIRD... very informative and hard to see

* You should spend some time looking into the Carlise Indian Boarding School

* It would be good to state how this dy came about in 1977. It started at a conference held by FIdel Castro in Cuba... taking activitist from all over South and North America... this idea came out of that... AIM and the International Treaty Council folks pushed hard for this day and started the move to change it. LEe's remember Jimmi Durham, Paul Smith and Minnesota AIM folks.

It would be nice for you to play the AIM song on this day

THere aer some good resources... Roxanne Dunbar-ORtiz... Indigenous Peoples' Hiistory of the US.... I could alo send you the research we did that was submitted to the UN... a long time ago... but documents the sterization of Native Women.
