Re: Indigenous People's Opposition to Celebration and Glorification of Colonial Pirate Christopher Columbus
This site contains a 2000 press release from the American Indian Movement Grand Governing Council opposing the celebration of Columbus Day on the claimed basis that "Columbus was the beginning of the American holocaust, ethnic cleansing characterized by murder, torture, raping, pillaging, robbery, slavery, kidnapping, and forced removals of Indian people from their homelands."
