A procession of supporters of two bills establishing an Indigenous People’s Day in Montana offered their personal stories Wednesday to illustrate a broader lack of understanding of Native American history – as well Columbus Day‘s namesake – in the state. “Why celebrate a man who committed deplorable and horrendous acts against humanity?” Billings resident Ben Pease asked the Senate State Administration Committee. “Yeah, Christopher Columbus was a murderer, we know this. But more importantly today, why teach an alternate, false history to our children and ourselves, and continue to lionize such a horrible human being?” Pease, an Apsaalooke artist who is one of the co-founders of Indigenous People’s Day Montana, said the new holiday would offer a chance to celebrate Montana’s diversity while correcting long-standing misperceptions about the violent colonization of the continent.
