Biden becomes first president to proclaim Indigenous Peoples' Day

"Oct. 9 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden is the first president to issue a proclamation for Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Biden issued the proclamation on Friday, recognizing Monday as Indigenous People's Day, and marking the first time a U.S. president has done so.

"Our country was conceived on a promise of equality and opportunity for all people -- a promise that, despite the extraordinary progress we have made through the years, we have never fully lived up to," Biden wrote in the proclamation. "That is especially true when it comes to upholding the rights and dignity of the Indigenous people who were here long before colonization of the Americas began."

"History demonstrates that Native American people -- and our nation as a whole -- are best served when tribal governments are empowered to lead their communities and when federal officials listen to and work together with Tribal leaders when formulating federal policy that affects tribal nations," Biden wrote.

"The contributions that Indigenous peoples have made throughout history -- in public service, entrepreneurship, scholarship, the arts, and countless other fields -- are integral to our Nation, our culture, and our society," he continued."

Indigenous People's Day

1. Female warriors

Native American women fought alongside men in battles, the most popular among them being the Buffalo Calf Road Woman of the Northern Cheyenne tribe.

2. Popcorn

The Indigenous Americans were the first to domesticate the strains of maize that produced popcorn thousands of years ago.

3. Maria Tallchief

The first Native American (and American) to dance at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and with the Paris Opera Ballet was Maria Tallchief.


4. Hockey

The Native American tribes of Foxes, Saux, and Assiniboine played a game called shinny, which is where hockey came from.


5. The sequoia tree

The sequoia tree is named after the revered Cherokee leader Sequoyah, who created an alphabet for his people.

A Hideout Is Not a Homeland


Prehistorically, these indigenees were unevolved Asian bandit gangs that got kicked out of that habitable territory and driven North towards the Arctic Circle. No people would choose that frozen wasteland as a place to settle down in. Therefore, they logically must have escaped there as fugitives from civilized justice. They kept on going and wound up in the Americas, where they continued their incompetence to get much out of the land and resorted to intertribal genocide in order to survive.

With historical hindsight, the Major is wrong. The Code-Talkers did their job and did it well, but their unique code didn't make a nickel's worth of difference to the outcome.

One glance at some of the planning for that operation shows this clearly.

It's all hindsight. It was a great fucking idea and if it saved the life of one Marine, it was worth the price.

Nice post; another racist revisionist heard from, singing the song of his people. They must be so proud of you, making that up all by yourself. You did make it all up, right? It's not a copy-and-paste from Daily Stormer or OANN?

Need to change the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day?!!

This year marks the first time a U.S. president has officially recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day.

President Biden issued a proclamation on Friday to observe this Oct. 11 as a day to honor Native Americans, their resilience and their contributions to American society throughout history, even as they faced assimilation, discrimination and genocide spanning generations. The move shifts focus from Columbus Day, the federal holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus, which shares the same date as Indigenous Peoples' Day this year.

Dylan Baca, a 19-year-old Arizonan who was instrumental in helping broker the proclamation, is overwhelmed by the gravity of Biden's action.

"I still don't think I've fully absorbed what that has meant," he said. "This is a profound thing the president has done, and it's going to mean a lot to so many people."

Very cool. Thanks. The Navy certainly pounded the shit out of the island. Not sure if it made a difference. LOL

On Columbus Day We're celebrating the exploration; the journey; taking the risk. Where would be without curiosity and wandering? The world might still be seen as flat. This day we celebrate Columbus' bravery to explore. It has absolutely nothing to do with the local savages.

These are the types of things that losers on the Left cannot grasp.

For some perspective: Pick any one US heavy cruiser present, say Salt Lake City. That single ship was scheduled to fire more rounds in bombardment of Iwo Jima than the entirety of the bombardment force (Cruiser division 7) the Japanese were going to use at Midway...

Sovereign land...or do you want to break that treaty too?

Indigenee Halloween: Trick or Treaty

Americans never broke any treaties with the Indians, because Americans were never stupid enough to trust those forked-tongue savages. The race traitors in the government made those treaties in order to endanger and humiliate the public. Appeasing backward thrill-killers was an elitist policy to put us in our place. Sound familiar?

Sorry but my understanding was not to put false words in his mouth. Not that I'm restricted from using a public image. His would be the only one. I've done the same with Spaz and Stone. Maybe some others. Why is the Stolen Valor cocksucker Terry O'Brien special?

This isn't doxxing; the douchebag puts his picture out there. People are free to do the same thing to my photos. That's why people shrink them or slightly obscure them; because they aren't fucking dumbass stolen valor cocksuckers spamming the forum with their fucking videos.

Which brings up a point about stolen valor. Terry O'Brien is impersonating a female combat veteran with his Terri4Trump sock puppet. He's fucked up a few times mixing up T4T and his Great American account. He's a stolen valor fuckwad.

While I agree Terry O'Brien is free to be a stolen valor cocksucker sexting with his fans, please allow me the freedom to confront him about his lies, sexual trickery and stolen valor. TIA

Just do it without the image, and without following him around. If all you do is follow GA around, then you will find rule 14 an issue.

Basically, when you make something my problem, it doesn't stay my problem I share that load.

God Bless American industrial might. The price was heavy.

Per our earlier discussion, nowadays the island would still be taken, if it still necessary for the mission, but modern weapons and tactics would save a lot of Marine lives. The mission always comes first but good support from the Federal government allows Marines, and the other services, to do the mission with a minimal cost in American lives.

An example is Iwo Jima and Afghanistan:

The US lost over 7300 sailors and Marines taking Iwo Jima. In 20 years of war, the US lost 2,448 service personnel and 3,846 US contractors in Afghanistan.

A fascinating difference, IMHO.

Yep. In Iraq a building or structure that the enemy or a terrorist was hiding in became known as an "AWR." That is, "Allah's Waiting Room." This was because in a few minutes or less a large PGM was going to come through the window and blow the baddies away with the rest of the building. They would then be with Allah who would give them 72 virgins....



And, they all have hunting licenses with no bag limit...

I understand the principle of shit rolling downhill and also rule 14.

BTW, what's the bag limit on that? 5 times a day? That's about what Bobbie does. j/k


Obviously Terry O'Brien is too big of a fucking gutless Stolen Valor cocksucker to discuss this himself and his incessant mewling and whining would certainly be a problem you shouldn't have to endure. If me cooling my jets a bit helps you, I'm more than happy to do it, sir.


For the record, if anyone is sitting next to a stolen valor cocksucker like Terry O'Brien, please smack them across the mouth and say "STOP THAT!" TIA
