Happy Indigenous peoples Day everyone…This year for joined 10 other states to change the official celebration of Columbus Day to indigenous peoples day… It makes a lot of sense because how can we honor someone for “discover” a place where people have lived for thousands of years. Vermont has a proud indigenous population…… And I’m really glad that the state observation has been changed to reflect that
The only thing Aldous about Columbus Day is that it always makes me think of this song somewhere I learned… It’s a Yiddish song called “lebn zol Kolumbus” from the early 1900s… I think it was from Russia.Talking about how great it would be to live in America
I guess it is pretty great…
Nite all, nite sam
