Four Directions March 2019 - Denver

In this, the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the movement to abolish the Columbus Day holiday in Colorado, we ask you to join indigenous peoples, and all people of goodwill to imagine a new vision for the future and to join us to move that vision forward. This march is a powerful statement about an indigenous peoples' vision to transform the hatred and negativity of the Columbus Day holiday and celebrations into a positive future. While we certainly offer a strong condemnation of invader colonialism and genocide that it brought with it, we also celebrate the powerful lessons of indigenous philosophy, politics, science and technology, and spirituality that has sustained us, but that is often obscured in the U.S. The Four Directions March is an indigenous-led example of respect and integrity, and we ask all people who reject the destructiveness of invader colonialism to join with us. We will articulate a new future for Denver, for Colorado and for all of Great Turtle Island (the Americas). Join us.
