What is no one spoke English anymore? What if it was illegal to celebrate Christmas? What if a new race of people decided to invade America and force Americans out of their homes? This was what happened to Native Americans during America’s Westward Expansion. Native American culture disappeared because America’s westward expansion forced them out of their homeland, disease and violence killed millions of them, and new laws gave them no rights.
Life in the Western Hemisphere was much different before it was invaded by explorers.

Itâs here again â National Poetry Month. If you were taught, as poet Billy Collins joked, that you had to âtie a poem to a chair and beat a confession out of it . to find out what it really means,â you might flinch at the very idea.
But in this pandemic year, more and more people have found themselves turning to poetry not only to help face their pain, but also to remember moments of light. Thanks to people who shared some of their own favorites this month, I found Ashland poet Angela Howe Deckerâs poem about waking to watch her young boys who have crept into their parentsâ bed âlike cats or friendly spiritsâ and before dawn are âgreat wizards in small bodies, / arms outstretched above their heads, / drawing deep swells of breath and / pulling the morning toward us.â

Peck serves as the narrator for
Exterminate All The Brutes, and his tone is rarely soothing. Through a combination of archival footage, Hollywood movie clips that recall the searing work of Marlon Riggs, scripted interludes, and animated scenes, Peck batters us with devastating and harsh truths. It’s not the American story even the most liberal-minded among us wants to accept as our undeniable past. Yet, it is, and Peck thinks enough of his audience that he doesn’t hold our hands. He describes how, after Christopher Columbus’ fateful arrival in 1492, 90% of the Indigenous population died from violence and disease in a little more than a century. That’s 55 million human lives gone, but there’s still debate over whether to continue honoring Columbus with a national holiday.
