Welcome to Litsy!

Great resource! Shows the connection between Columbus's actions and the issues facing Native people today. Tries to offer hope and inspire action, not foster cynicism. Contains historical accounts from less-heard perspectives; quoted passages from Columbus's own writings; poems, songs, and essays from modern Native people; suggested classroom activities (easily adaptable for homeschoolers) and books/websites for further reading. #NativeLivesMatter

"No human society is 'primitive' or 'simple.' Every society is complex."

"Protecting children from racism is every bit as important as insuring that they avoid playing with electrical sockets. Poison is poison, and ingrained oppressive cultural attitudes are at least as hard to antidote, once implanted, as are imbibed cleaning fluids."
