Indigenous Peoples
We have explored the history of how settler colonialism and government actions impacted indigenous peoples of North America. In a follow-on project, we succeeded in persuading the Town Meeting to pass a change in the holiday name Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
​
We continue to support legislative efforts at the state house to eliminate the use of offensive images of indigenous peoples in the state seal, and other such miss-uses of Native American imagery.
