What indigenous peoples are we celebrating, and why? Why are all indigenous peoples lumped into one broad term when they were incredibly diverse in their lifestyles, linguistic groups, and traditions? How does one reconcile the fact that some groups actively and knowingly sold land to white settlers to enrich themselves with the notion of "stolen land" that the moronic Left uses as a catchphrase (not talking about the original sale of Manhattan for 24 guilders, but rather, the succeeding sales in the area after the Indians knew very well what European notions of property ownership entailed)? What about the fact that most "Indigenous Peoples" are no longer really "indigenous", but rather, mostly white people with some Indian blood raking in money from casinos on "tribal" land?
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
