To The Daily Sun,
Who are these indigenous people some want us to celebrate instead of Columbus? I don't know and really no one else does either. Archeologists have indicated that the tribes that were in place here in North America when Europeans arrived were only the latest to occupy "their" territory having displaced some others before them. Even they were not the first as waves of new tribes pushed others aside in a kind of centuries-old dominos effect. We Europeans are simply the latest wave so doesn't that make us the current indigenous people?

Why celebrate Columbus Day? By centuries he wasn't even the first European to find these shores which already had millions of citizens.
Why do Democrats endlessly continue to erase history - oh, I forgot, most of them were slave owners.
R u serious? JHC go back to HS.
Have you ever heard of the French and Indian wars when the assorted tribes were encouraged to slaughter the Whites and each other like they had already been doing for eons? No because they don't teach that stuff in HS anymore. Read a book genius.
How it was before Europeans came to North America. ; https://creativedestructionmedia.com/analysis/2021/10/15/pre-columbian-america-wasnt-exactly-a-paradise-of-freedom/
