Today marks two years since President Biden became the first U.S. president to formally commemorate Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Over a dozen states and more than 100 cities have followed suit, choosing to honor the rich cultures and histories of Indigenous communities, rather than celebrating Christopher Columbus. Many argue that Columbus brought genocide and colonization to communities that thrived in the Americas for thousands of years. While some still observe Columbus Day or Italian Heritage Day, it's crucial to acknowledge the pain and suffering caused by Columbus. However, there's more work to be done. Indigenous Peoples' Day is not yet a federal holiday, but progress is underway. Lawmakers in Congress have introduced legislation to make it one. Let's continue to advocate for this important step towards recognizing and respecting the rights and contributions of Indigenous peoples.

The history of St Helena is fascinating and touches many aspects of world history. Discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, it has since been in British possession, only being briefly taken over by the Dutch in 1633. The island became a port of strategic importance until the opening of the Suez Canal and the advent of steamships. The island’s remote location meant it was used as a place of exile for key prisoners, including some 6,000 Boers, Chief Dinnizulu, Bahraini princes, and Napoleon, who died on St Helena. The Island also played an important role during the abolition of slavery. This heritage provides a significant legacy of fortifications, remains, historic buildings, and what has been described as “the quintessential Atlantic port” - Jamestown. Situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, this small British island territory is one of the remotest places on Earth. Until the airport opens in early 2016, the main way for tourists to get to St Helena is by ship, on the RMS St Helena. #AStoryOfBones #StHelena #SaintHelena #Documentary #reclaimingnarratives #historicalinjustice

Here is some interesting research to go with the emotional and gut reactions people had to this movie!
Like so many worldwide, we took a trip to #Barbie Land this summer and haven’t been able to stop thinking about America Ferrera’s monologue as Gloria. So, we fact-checked it. And surprise (not!), the contradictions she speaks about are all true. And we have research to prove it. #BarbieMovie #BarbieTheMovie #GenderEquity #Research

The White House Proclamation on Indigenous Peoples' Day, 2023: The story of America’s Indigenous peoples is a story of their resilience and survival; of their persistent commitment to their right to self-governance; and of their determination to preserve cultures, identities, and ways of life. Long before European explorers sailed to this continent, Native American and Alaska Native Nations made this land their home, some for thousands of years before the United States was founded. They built many Nations that created powerful, prosperous, and diverse cultures, and they developed knowledge and practices that still benefit us today. But throughout our Nation’s history, Indigenous peoples have faced violence and devastation that has tested their limits. For generations, it was the shameful policy of our Nation to remove Indigenous peoples from their homelands; force them to assimilate; and ban them from speaking their own languages, passing down ancient traditions, and performing sacred ceremonies. Countless lives were lost, precious lands were taken, and their way of life was forever changed. In spite of unimaginable loss and seemingly insurmountable odds, Indigenous peoples have persisted. They survived. And they continue to be an integral part of the fabric of the United States. Read the full Proclamation here: https://lnkd.in/gmK3dfdY
