Buck Brief - There's No Actual Celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day

What exactly are we celebrating on Indigenous Peoples’ Day? Buck takes on the debate over Columbus Day and the movement to replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, arguing that the holiday was created not simply to recognize indigenous people, but as a direct counter to Columbus and the Age of Exploration. He digs into the history of pre-Columbian societies, including warfare, conquest, slavery and human sacrifice, while challenging the romanticized version of indigenous civilization that often dominates the modern conversation. If Columbus and European exploration are going to be judged by the full weight of history, Buck argues the civilizations that existed in the Americas before Columbus should be subjected to the same scrutiny.
