As you know, our government still observes "Columbus Day" as a federal holiday. Many of us feel that the time has come for American Society to move on from a celebration of colonialism and 500 years of oppression of the native peoples of this hemisphere. Rather, we wish to focus on the survival and revival of many rich and enduring indigenous cultures, the contributions that have been made to the benefit of all civilized peoples by indigenous peoples and our hope for a future society that will respect and honor the sacred in the natural world around us. I hope to see you there.
