Every Columbus Day Northern Native Americans get swept up by the aspect of their identity rooted in trauma. To Northerners Columbus is the beginning of their laments, identity and reparations. But for us, the Taino, it was not the beginning, or the end.
It was our corrupt ancestor that allowed rescued Columbus from the sea.
It was our land that was pillaged. It was our women that were raped.
Therefore, it must be us, the first and only peoples to encounter him that must shape the conversation around Columbus. It is us that must start the circles, it is us that must tell the stories, it is us that must bring the medicine of the hawk. Without it the eagle will not soar.
