In our history textbooks, we learned that European settlers pushed westward, displacing Indigenous tribes until sadly they were no more. But this is wholly inaccurate.

The “Indians”—as Columbus infamously misnamed them—are still here in America. They number well over five million according to the 2020 census. And yet, as hard as it is to admit, a genocide of Indigenous people and cultures continues in this country even to this day, as Native children are removed from their families and tribes to live in primarily White, Christian homes.

That continuing assault is today’s subject in The Big Picture. Head over to to read now: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

@georgetakei This is really disgusting to hear about. I can’t believe we still have this stuff happening today. What is wrong with people that they think they can decide the fate of others. I am really sickened by this.
