"Indigenous Peoples Day is about so much more than the name. It is about living our truth together and being better for it." By Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and a citizen of the Penobscot Nation in Maine. @bangordailynews.bsky.social
Opinion: Indigenous Peoples Day is about honor, healing and survival
"By having a holiday named after Columbus we not only erase the truth of history we glorify these atrocities as things to be revered and celebrated."

Here's a bit of Portland, Maine, for Indigenous People's Day.
A poster sized piece of public art on a brick wall showing two people holding hands. One, a Wabanaki person in jeans and a hoodie with the state of Maine on it. The other a Palestinian person in yellow shorts and a white tee with the Palestinian flag on it. There is an indistinct group of people behind them. The lettering above and below them reads: From Wabanaki to Palestine Occupation is a Crime.

Last week the administration removed information signs at Acadia National Park that mentioned climate change, endangered plants & Indigenous heritage. Someone felt compelled to create alternate signage -- thank you!
#friendsofacadia #altacadianationalpark #altnationalparkservice #SchoodicInstitute
A yellow sign reading "How is climate changing Acadia? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to trail signage. A blue sign reading "Is Acadia Wabanaki land? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to a boulder. A green sign reading "Why protect Acadia's plants? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place against a boardwalk fence to beach access.

A bright red sculpture of 47 has appeared at a busy intersection in Manhattan, seemingly climbing out of a manhole.

The life-size, red-coloured piece, titled "Donald," was secretly installed by French street artist James Colomina at the corner of East 42nd Street & 2nd Avenue.
