Why Today Should Revolutionize Your Mindset: The Untold Power of Indigenous Peoples Day Revealed!

Ever pause and wonder how a day meant for celebration can carry shadows so dark and deep? Indigenous Peoples’ Day pushes us to ask—what if the stories we’ve been told all these years gloss over the untold truth? I mean, here’s Bartolomé de la Casas, back in 1552, calling out brutality and greed on a scale so wild, it makes modern scandals look like kid stuff. The contrast is stark: honoring resilience versus remembering a devastating legacy of conquest disguised as discovery. So, while some raise their flags for Columbus, others stand firm with signs demanding we recognize the real history beneath the holiday gloss. Isn’t it time we peeled back the layers, embraced the full picture, and learned from it? Yep, this is more than just a “holiday” — it’s a reckoning wrapped in gold, pain, and survival. LEARN MORE

“Two principal and general customs have been employed by those, calling themselves Christians, who have passed this way, in extirpating and striking from the face of the earth those suffering nations. The first being unjust, cruel, bloody, and tyrannical warfare. The other, after having slain all those who might yearn toward or suspire after or think of freedom, or consider escaping from the torments that they are made to suffer, by which I mean all the native-born lords and adult males, for it is the Spaniards’ custom in their wars to allow only young boys and females to live being to oppress them with the hardest, harshest, and most heinous bondage to which men or beasts might ever be bound into. . . . The cause for which the Christians have slain and destroyed so many and such infinite numbers of souls, has been simply to get, as their ultimate end, the Indians’ gold of them, and to stuff themselves with riches in a very few days, and to raise themselves to high estates without proportion to their birth or breeding, it should be noted owing to the insatiable greed and ambition that they have had, which has been greater than any the world has ever seen before. . . [A]ll the Indians of all the Indies never once did aught hurt or wrong to Christians, but rather held them to be descended from heaven, from the sky, until many times they or their neighbours received from the Christians many acts of wrongful harm, theft, murder, violence, and vexation. . . . ”
