Columbus Day marks the genocidal foundation of America
Every year on the second Monday of October, there are two types of people in America, those who commemorate indigenous people’s day when natives were slaughtered by colonizers, and those who celebrate this genocide by calling it Columbus Day, which marks the founding of the nation.
In New York, indigenous people gathered to honor indigenous culture and heritage, which were suppressed by the colonizers.
In Utah, home to thriving tribes, we spoke with an indigenous activist fighting for the Liberation of Palestine.
Because the Palestinian people, like indigenous people, for the least, past 75 years, have been actively resisting the settler colonial project in the form of Zionism in Historic Palestine.
Here in the United States, Native people have been fighting against that sort of force [for] all of their existence since the colonial period.

Presidential candidate and activist, Claudia de la Cruz, was also present to speak to us on the idea of resistance and the upcoming elections,
We are demanding the end to the illegal occupation of Palestine, because that's an illegal occupation that is recognized internationally.
The problem is that the United States, as an empire, does not respect or abide [by] any international law.
In our presidential campaign what we're attempting to do is to bring to the attention of the people that it doesn't matter whether it's Trump or Harris, it's not about the individual, it's about the political and economic project that they're there to protect.
And I think we need to gain that understanding of politics. Malcolm X called it political maturity. We need to gain the political maturity to understand our position as working class people and the position of the ruling class and what they're there to do.
They're not there to represent us. They're not there to represent our interests. They're not there to protect us. They're there to protect the US Empire, the billionaires, the corporations and the banks and the military contractors.
Claudia de la Cruz, PSL Presidential Candidate
The colonial roots and imperialist strategies rooted in the US government and its foreign policies continue to branch out and take as many lives as it can, from indigenous America in 1492 to Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen in 2024.
