The true story of Christopher Columbus by Native Elder Wanbli Tate

[WhiteFeather]

Wanbli Tate an American Indian Elder tells his side of the story of Christopher Columbus on an interview by RT news. An informative listen of these words as he speaks of the genocide that took place here on American soil. An ultimate genocide of children, women and slavery of The American Indian civilization.


The real history of Columbus is a story that you most likely didn't learn about in school. The story of Columbus the slave trader of the Americas, where under his watch, genocide took place, and within 50 years, not a single original native inhabitant could be found on the island of Hispaniola. Wanbli Tate is the Chapter Advisor for Central Texas American Indian Movement and the Elder Advisor for Santa Barbara American Indian Movement, he explains how people are caught up in this myth of Christopher Columbus the hero rather than the man that committed inhuman acts.

Even at this present time, it continues to take place in countries around the world.
They attempt to justify it, but it's always been for profit. The Indian welcomed these people
as friends, but were betrayed. The Indian was looked at as being savage and ignorant.
But when You kill out a spiritual, peaceful people because of an opportunity and because You
can, Who are the savages and the ignorant?....A true friend asks nothing but your friendship.

Colonialism was wrong then and now and killing is wrong then and now!! No justification for any of it including the fact that many aboriginal peoples around the world also partook in killing and slavery of their own and others.............

The awakening is to grow up and stop this barbaric way of being with one another and it starts right in your own home, family, neighbourhood, community, town, city, state, province, country, nation, continent.............we have much work to do as a species. :grouphug:

Don't buy on those abhorrent holidays. $ave the money or donate to the poverty reamed tribes.

Well here in Sweden I think this has been almost common knowledge since the 70:ies, at least in the left movement and since Sweden long has been ruled by the Social Democrats - however unaware they might be of the true Illuminati Villains - has brought to the fore Human rights.

On the other hand there has been almost a total blindness to our own "Native Swedes" the Laponians who's way of life has been very much like the Native Americans. Although in the recent years our own indigineous pple have been regocnized although their way of living with reindeers is still threatnend. Also the situation of the Native South Americans was illuminated during the 70:ies whith all the fugitifs from Chile and Pinochet, another 9/11 event...

Nine cities abolish Columbus Day in favor Indigenous Peoples’ Day

9 cities abolish Columbus Day in favor Indigenous Peoples’ Day

‘Nine cities in states across the US have pressed for resolutions to
recognize October 12 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day rather than
Columbus Day. Eight of those cities passed resolutions in the last
two months and three adopted a resolution just this week.

The City Council of Albuquerque, New Mexico voted six to three on
Thursday to recognize October 12 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a
new proclamation:

“Albuquerque recognizes the occupation of New Mexico’s homelands
for the building of our City and knows indigenous nations have lived
upon this land since time immemorial and values the process of our
society accomplished through and by American Indian thought,
culture, technology.”’

The proclamation noted 500 years of Indian resistance since the arrival
of Christopher Columbus and marked the day “in an effort to reveal a
more accurate historical record of the ‘discovery’ of the United States of
America,” and to “recognize the contributions of Indigenous peoples
despite enormous efforts against native nations.”

Sandy, there is so much wisdom in your words. I think the very premise of "the survival of the fittest", and the perspective of scarcity, the belief that there is "not enough" are some of the core beliefs that perpetuate the kind of behavior that made Columbus a legend. In many ways we have disguised the fact that we are doing the same kind of thing today. Maybe we don't literally take land away, it might be the natural resources that we are after. It has been made easy for us to live in a state of denial. It's easy to think we have evolved, when in reality our media has been whitewashed to paint a different picture of the world, one that perpetuates the lies.

So we celebrate people like Columbus and make him a hero. We even mandate that our children participate. In the US we do this so we can continue to believe that we are the good guys that value freedom, and justice for all. The story of Columbus, the true and accurate story portrays the exact opposite.

Christopher Columbus Was a Sadist – There Shouldn’t Be a Holiday in His Name

Christopher Columbus Was a Sadist - There Shouldn't Be a Holiday in His Name

Stop celebrating Columbus Day and start celebrating the native cultures his
arrival in the Americas began the process of displacing.

By James Nevius / The Guardian

October 12, 2015

http://www.davidicke.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/columbus_invaded_america_protest_march.jpg

‘The second Monday in October has been designated an American federal holiday
in Christopher Columbus’s honor since 1937. To most people in the United States,
this commemoration of his 1492 landing in the Bahamas no longer has much
meaning – many Americans outside of large Italian American communities are
only dimly aware that it’s an official holiday. Many people don’t even get the day
off work, instead trading Columbus Day for the day after Thanksgiving.

The holiday’s popularity has been waning for some time. In cities like Seattle and
Minneapolis, it has been already been renamed Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a reminder
that Columbus’s voyages set off a chain of events that wreaked havoc on native
populations in the New World. It’s time to make that piecemeal commemoration
official: stop celebrating Columbus and start celebrating the native cultures he
began the process of displacing.’

Warning to World as Most Powerful State, in Midst of Major Power Grab, Exalts “Genocidal Madman” Columbus
Posted on October 12, 2015 by Robert Barsocchini


The US today provides another illustration of why one state should never dominate global affairs: states, like individuals, largely lack self-awareness.

Martin Luther King Jr. pointed out that the US is “perhaps the only nation” that was “born in genocide”. “Moreover”, he said, the US celebrates genocide as “a noble crusade,” and US “literature, …films, …drama, …folklore all exalt it.”


European invaders throw Native mothers, kids, etc., into a pit filled with spikes.

As US products of these traditions push for unprecedented dictatorial control over global production and profits, here are the words of some Native people and others on Columbus:

Here’s Why More States, Cities Need to Repeal Columbus Day by Sarah Sunshine Manning

Deceptive. Greedy. Murderer. Racist. Not exactly characteristics of a hero, and certainly not the makings of a man worthy of a national holiday.

Jig’s up, America. Christopher Columbus was a genocidal madman. America’s first and original terrorist. And as our global consciousness and awareness of humanity expands, it is time we give up defending Christopher Columbus as anything but otherwise.

Who Could Possibly Be in Favor of Columbus Day? by Bayard Johnson

What was Columbus’s impression of the Indians? He described them as “well-built, with good bodies and handsome features… They would make fine servants… With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.” And the Indians are “so naïve and so free with their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe it. When you ask for something they have, they never say no…they are good to be ordered about, to work and to sow, and do all that may be necessary…”

At every landfall, the Indians either greeted Columbus with friendship or fled into the jungle. The Spanish were never attacked or treated with hostility. In his journal, Columbus describes the Indians as “generous to a fault.”

He repaid this hospitality by demanding gold and taking slaves. Columbus gave his men gifts of slave girls—ages 9 or 10 were preferred—to rape and use as sex slaves.

Truth-Telling in American History: Groups Fight for Indigenous Peoples Day by Tanya H. Lee

From the Northern Plains to the Southwestern deserts, American Indian groups are working to correct historic falsehoods and demanding acknowledgement of what the “discovery” of this continent meant to and for Indigenous Peoples.

One focus of this effort is to convince municipalities to pass resolutions changing the name of the holiday celebrated on the second Monday of October from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day. In 1992, the city of Berkeley, California, became the first to abolish Columbus Day, and several other California cities have followed suit. As have a number of other cities, including Seattle, Washington; St. Paul, Minneapolis; Grand Rapids and Duluth, Minnesota; and Traverse City, Michigan.

The typical US defense when confronted with information like the above, that it was “a different time”, etc., provides another illustration of the self-serving thinking necessary to the genocidal settler colonial mindset by implying that in a “different time” victims would have been more amenable and somehow less resistant to being raped and butchered – though only by favored agents. The victims of “enemy” groups, even in “different times”, are not dismissed, but are used, like the victims of “enemy” groups today, for propaganda purposes. “Enemy” cruelty and the suffering of the victims of “enemies” – groups powerful enough to eschew US dominance – is highlighted, while “own” victims and cruelties are downplayed however possible, past and present.

How does one "discover" a country which is already inhabited by its indigenous people???

[betoobig]

As an spanish, as i been told i am, i feel very sorry to see people in my country or elsewhere celebrating this day. The actual mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau has refused to go to the celebration saying it very clear : "nothing to celebrate here"....
I please ask to all native americans to please forgive us, we are not Columbus, not even close.
Much love to all

Christopher Columbus represents everything that's vile and despicable about the wave of Western Civilization.

Have you taken a good look at what we've done to this pristine landscape?

Europeans have stolen the land from the indigenous populations, committed genocide on the original inhabitants, who lived as caretakers-in-trust, and then Westerner Civilization has turned this virginal landscape into a coast-to-coast shopping mall.

We've made a national hero out of a despicable monster, and the greatest achievement of our hero-worshiping, is another opportunity to sell bedroom sheets, and bath towels!

I say, allow the holiday to continue, but educate the population on just what Columbus stands for: the worst-case evolution of civilization scenario possible !
