Washington, DC Press Release -
  The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), the largest and most representative American Indian and Alaska Native organization in the country, does not acknowledge Christopher Columbus as a hero.  To Indigenous people’s, he was the opposite, especially after the death of George Floyd, murdered / lynched by a White police officer:

Out of timbers for the Santa Maria,...Columbus built a fort on Hispaniola, the first European military base in the Western Hemisphere...He took...Indian prisoners and put them abroad his two remaining ships...He got into a fight with Indians who refused to trade as many bows and arrows as he and his men wanted. Two were run through with swords and bled to death. Then the Nina and the Pinta set sail....When the weather turned cold, the Indian prisoners began to die.

In the year 1495, they went on a great slave raid, rounded up fifteen hundred Arawak men, women, and children, put them in pens guarded by Spaniards and dogs, then picked the five hundred best specimens to load onto ships.  Of those five hundred, two hundred died en route.  The rest arrived alive in Spain and were put up for sale..

“This growing movement across the country to rid our shared spaces of symbols that represent hate, genocide, and bigotry illustrates that it is past time for all cities to stand on the right side of history moving forward,” said NCAI President Fawn Sharp.

NCAI also strongly supports the recent actions taken by United States citizens and the international community calling for proper law enforcement reforms and the recognition of basic human rights for the African American community and all communities of color.  We are humbled that these voices are including Indian Country’s perspectives.  NACI encourages local governments and their citizens to seek mutual understandings of their diverse perspectives and to develop peaceful solutions that are mindful of all human beings and our rich distinct and shared histories.  Together we can build the tomorrow our children deserve to lead.
