October 12, Columbus Day 2020. Today, let us honor #NativeAmerica — this beautiful land and its original First Nations People.
Many states and cities across the country in past years have replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day. Arizona was the last state to adopt the new title in 2020, and Salem, Massachusetts was the most recent city.

Lady Freedom DC stands high on the dome of the Capitol Building in Washington DC. Part Native American herself, she reminds everyone to always LOOK UP!
