We are happy to share this op-ed published yesterday by our friend Betty Lyons (Onondaga Nation), who is the President & Executive Director of the American Indian Law Alliance. We know that yesterday, and everyday, is #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
Betty says: "We know that supposed discovery of the so-called New World has had its greatest negative impact on the tens of millions of indigenous peoples who lived here.
