[quote=Anonymous]A quote regarding monuments for victims of lynching, so slightly different from this situation, but a quote that pertains nonetheless: “The public narrative a nation creates about what is important is reflected in memorials and monuments. Who is honored, what is remembered, what is memorialized tells a story about a society that can’t be reflected in other ways. –Bryan Stevenson, EJI Executive Director” https://eji.org/projects/community-historical-marker-project/ So I’m essence what Native descendants have been saying for decades, and what some people refuse to recognize, is that celebrating the man who murdered thousands and opened up the Americas on the note of theft and genocide, is telling Native Americans that they don’t matter, that violence against them didn’t matter then and doesn’t matter now so long as is serves someone else’s material gain.
