	It's kind of twisted how that's on the same day as Columbus Day. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Columbus was a murderer and slaver. It's not very nice to think, but I hope he's in the bad place. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. (Reply to this) (Thread)

When people say to judge him by the standards of the time I like to point out that he was thrown in jail when he returned to Spain for tyranny, incompetence and brutality. Isabella and Ferdinand specifically sent someone to not only replace him as governor, but write a 50 page report on his crimes that even some of his supporters testified for.

Normally I'd grill corn, but...

	One of my foster brothers is half-Salish and he grew up in his mother's tribe, learning their traditions. When I was young, he would take me hunting with him and whatever we caught, that would be the celebration feast. Not much hunting here, though. The most I've snagged was a rabbit or two.

	I'm Cheyenne, but my father died when I was nine so I was out of touch for a while until I was old enough to arrange it myself. Never did much hunting, either. (Reply to this) (Parent)
