Indigenous Peoples' Day The Beginning for the Americas.

We are constantly coming to understand the past in the Americas, and the establishment of these United States of America.

A past deeply rooted in the ruling and power structure from Europe, Asia, and Africa.  The history of communities.

It starts in the learning process, in the classroom and at home.

This about sums up this holiday.
