Indigenous Peoples’ Day

labillois_indigenousgirlhood

 

Indigenous Peoples Day reimagines Columbus Day and changes a celebration of colonialism into an opportunity to reveal historical truths to promote Indigenous culture and commemorate the history of indigenous people. 

 

“Learning about the history of Columbus and transforming this day into a celebration of indigenous people and a celebration of social justice … allows us to make a connection between this painful history and the ongoing marginalization, discrimination and poverty that indigenous communities face to this day,” Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant said.

 

 

 

Berghahn recognizes the significance of indigenous cultures and is happy to present some of its relevant titles:

FELLOW TRIBESMEN
The Image of Native Americans, National Identity, and Nazi Ideology in Germany
Frank Usbeck

 

“Usbeck’s study is very impressive. He has collected a great number of facts…[and] presents a most interesting book…An extensive bibliography concludes an important work that is also attractively illustrated.” · AmerIndian Research Continue reading “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” →
