#2 So, they don't want to be Americans anymore? Just members of tribes.

Columbus day was initiated as an act of 'inclusiveness' to the large number of legal Italian immigrants that had come to America. The dude was from Genoa even though hired by Spain.

The indigenous people were the same as anyone else, tribal, territorial, and hierarchical. Basically stuck in a stone age, they competed for territory and warred upon each other. What happened was a society with better organization and technology showed up. Happened when Asians decided to come to Europe as with the Huns and Mongols, and later the Turks. They don't call it Hungary for nothing.

Same way I went along with Cesar Chavez Day in California. He was a great man. He got me a day off.

#4 So, "Juneteenth" is the day white people told black people that they're no longer slaves?

#5 G(rom), it's worse than than that.
Juneteenth is the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was announced as a law in Galveston on June 19th 1865. It has already been law in the North for two years, and the word and enforcement finally got down here after the end of the war.
