525 years after Columbus's arrival, it's important to us as indigenous people to still be recognized. That's kinda what today was about.

When you write Indigenous People's Day (with the apostrophe) instead of Indigenous Peoples Day, you're signaling that you don't see us.

I feel happy about Indigenous Peoples Day. But also impotent as an unemployed journo, while non-indigenous journos getting the basics wrong.

Anyway. That's your free thread from me today. Please don't steal it from me like you did our land. Thanks :)

You're absolutely right. But in this way because it's multiple peoples, it should be written as Peoples' instead to show plural possessive.

Nah, because we don't say "Columbus's Day"

In fairness the west has been waging a war against the apostrophe on multiple fronts for a while now.
