Essential reading on, and beyond, Indigenous Peoples Day

Formerly known as Columbus Day, today is Indigenous Peoples Day in more than 80 (and counting) cities, counties and states. While official recognition of this day began in the late ‘70s, with the UN discussing the replacement of Columbus Day, resistance and challenge to said “holiday” existed in the hearts and minds of indigenous and native peoples long before cities or states began to observe Indigenous Peoples Day.

As land defenders − people who are working for indigenous territories to be protected from contamination and exploitation − we see Indigenous Peoples Day as progress; it signals a crucial shift in our culture to recognize the dark past of colonization. No longer are our communities, towns, cities and states remaining silent and complacent in celebrating the cultural genocide that ensued after Christopher Columbus landed on Turtle Island (a.k.a. North America). Today also means that the erasure of our narrative as indigenous peoples is ending and our truths are rising to the surface. These truths include: Christopher Columbus was not a hero; he was a murderer. The land we all exist on is stolen. The history we’ve been taught is not accurate or complete. And perhaps most important among those truths, indigenous lands are still being colonized, and our people are still suffering the trauma and impacts of colonization.

Across the country, we continue to see the violation of our rights and treaties as extractive projects are proposed and constructed. Across the nation, we continue to grieve our missing and murdered indigenous women, victims of violence brought to their communities by extractive oil and mining projects. We continue to bear the brunt of climate change as our food sovereignty is threatened by dying ecosystems and as our animal relatives are becoming extinct due to land loss, warmer seasons and/or contamination. And now, we are fighting for the very right to resist as anti-protest laws emerge across the country, which aim to criminalize our people for protecting what is most sacred to us.

Yet, despite these challenges, our people and communities are demonstrating incredible bravery and innovation to bring forth healing and justice. Through the tireless work of indigenous organizers, activists, knowledge keepers and artists, we are learning about what is working and what our movements need more of to dismantle systems like white supremacy and systemic racism that colonization has imposed on our communities.

So while we could dive into the stories of how our people are still being attacked by the many forms of colonization, we find it important on this day, a day that symbolizes progress and evolution, to acknowledge what is working in our communities and in our movements. All too often, our people are framed as victims, and while there’s truth in those narratives, it’s also critical, for our self-actualization as indigenous peoples, to have our strengths, our resilience and our creativity seen and honored.

Essential reading on, and beyond, Indigenous Peoples Day

Leitura essencial durante e depois do Dia dos Povos Indígenas

Formerly known as Columbus Day, today is Indigenous Peoples Day in more than 80 (and counting) cities, counties and states.

Anteriormente conhecido como Dia de Colombo, hoje é o Dia dos Povos Indígenas em mais de 80 (e contando) cidades, condados e estados.

While official recognition of this day began in the late ‘70s, with the UN discussing the replacement of Columbus Day, resistance and challenge to said “holiday” existed in the hearts and minds of indigenous and native peoples long before cities or states began to observe Indigenous Peoples Day.

Embora o reconhecimento oficial deste dia tenha começado no final dos anos 70, com a ONU discutindo a substituição do Dia de Colombo, a resistência e o desafio ao dito “feriado” existiam nos corações e mentes dos povos indígenas e nativos muito antes de as cidades ou estados começarem a observar Dia dos Povos Indígenas.

As land defenders − people who are working for indigenous territories to be protected from contamination and exploitation − we see Indigenous Peoples Day as progress; it signals a crucial shift in our culture to recognize the dark past of colonization.

Como defensores da terra – pessoas que trabalham para que os territórios indígenas sejam protegidos da contaminação e da exploração – vemos o Dia dos Povos Indígenas como um progresso; assinala uma mudança crucial na nossa cultura para reconhecer o passado sombrio da colonização.

No longer are our communities, towns, cities and states remaining silent and complacent in celebrating the cultural genocide that ensued after Christopher Columbus landed on Turtle Island (a.k.a. North America).

As nossas comunidades, vilas, cidades e estados já não permanecem silenciosos e complacentes na celebração do genocídio cultural que se seguiu depois de Cristóvão Colombo ter desembarcado na Ilha da Tartaruga (também conhecida como América do Norte).

Today also means that the erasure of our narrative as indigenous peoples is ending and our truths are rising to the surface.

Hoje também significa que o apagamento da nossa narrativa como povos indígenas está a terminar e as nossas verdades estão a vir à tona.

These truths include: Christopher Columbus was not a hero; he was a murderer.

Estas verdades incluem: Cristóvão Colombo não foi um herói; ele era um assassino.

The land we all exist on is stolen.

A terra em que todos existimos foi roubada.

The history we’ve been taught is not accurate or complete. 

A história que aprendemos não é precisa ou completa.

And perhaps most important among those truths, indigenous lands are still being colonized, and our people are still suffering the trauma and impacts of colonization.

E talvez a mais importante entre essas verdades é que as terras indígenas ainda estão sendo colonizadas e nosso povo ainda sofre o trauma e os impactos da colonização.

Across the country, we continue to see the violation of our rights and treaties as extractive projects are proposed and constructed.

Em todo o país, continuamos a assistir à violação dos nossos direitos e tratados à medida que projetos extrativos são propostos e construídos. 

Across the nation, we continue to grieve our missing and murdered indigenous women, victims of violence brought to their communities by extractive oil and mining projects.

Em todo o país, continuamos a lamentar as mulheres indígenas desaparecidas e assassinadas, vítimas da violência trazida às suas comunidades por projetos de extração de petróleo e mineração.

We continue to bear the brunt of climate change as our food sovereignty is threatened by dying ecosystems and as our animal relatives are becoming extinct due to land loss, warmer seasons and/or contamination.

Continuamos a suportar o peso das alterações climáticas, à medida que a nossa soberania alimentar é ameaçada pela morte de ecossistemas e à medida que os nossos parentes animais estão a ser extintos devido à perda de terras, estações mais quentes e/ou contaminação.

And now, we are fighting for the very right to resist as anti-protest laws emerge across the country, which aim to criminalize our people for protecting what is most sacred to us.

E agora, lutamos pelo direito de resistir à medida que surgem leis antiprotestos em todo o país, que visam criminalizar o nosso povo por proteger o que é mais sagrado para nós.

Yet, despite these challenges, our people and communities are demonstrating incredible bravery and innovation to bring forth healing and justice.

No entanto, apesar destes desafios, o nosso povo e as nossas comunidades estão a demonstrar uma incrível coragem e inovação para promover a cura e a justiça.

Through the tireless work of indigenous organizers, activists, knowledge keepers and artists, we are learning about what is working and what our movements need more of to dismantle systems like white supremacy and systemic racism that colonization has imposed on our communities.

Através do trabalho incansável de organizadores, ativistas, detentores de conhecimento e artistas indígenas, estamos a aprender sobre o que está a funcionar e o que os nossos movimentos mais precisam para desmantelar sistemas como a supremacia branca e o racismo sistêmico que a colonização impôs às nossas comunidades.

So while we could dive into the stories of how our people are still being attacked by the many forms of colonization, we find it important on this day, a day that symbolizes progress and evolution, to acknowledge what is working in our communities and in our movements.

Assim, embora possamos mergulhar nas histórias de como o nosso povo ainda está a ser atacado pelas muitas formas de colonização, achamos importante neste dia, um dia que simboliza o progresso e a evolução, reconhecer o que está a funcionar nas nossas comunidades e nos nossos movimentos.

All too often, our people are framed as victims, and while there’s truth in those narratives, it’s also critical, for our self-actualization as indigenous peoples, to have our strengths, our resilience and our creativity seen and honored.

Com demasiada frequência, o nosso povo é enquadrado como vítima e, embora haja verdade nessas narrativas, também é fundamental, para a nossa autorrealização como povos indígenas, que os nossos pontos fortes, a nossa resiliência e a nossa criatividade sejam vistos e honrados.
