Let’s celebrate the many Ethnicities that built this Nation. As far as “Happy Columbus Day” that depends on one’s Perspective. Excerpt from Zinn’s book: Zinn is certainly interested in overturning the popular mythology surrounding Christopher Columbus, and he is unsparing in his condemnation of the famous explorer's treatment of the Arawaks. Indeed, he describes Columbus's policy as that of genocide, driven by a desire to squeeze as much wealth as he could from the inhabitants of the Indies. But as Zinn says, the point is not to, "in telling history, accuse, judge, condemn Columbus in absentia." In the chapter on Columbus, which also serves as the introduction to A People's History, Zinn is interested in making two broader arguments using Columbus. The first is that the "quiet acceptance of conquest and murder in the name of progress," which he detects in the works of Columbus historians like Samuel Eliot Morison, is "deadly," because it makes it easier to forgive such acts in our own time. The second, historiographical point, is that Columbus's apologists are typical of historians who view history only from the perspective of "governments, conquerors, diplomats, leaders" and other powerful figures and institutions. Zinn's aim is, of course, to turn this narrative on its head, emphasizing the perspective of common people. From this point of view, Columbus appears not as a conquering hero, but as a man who ushered in a disastrous series of events for Native Americans.
Ohio wouldn't be what it is today without contributions from so many hardworking Italian-Americans who made our state their home. Happy Columbus Day!

tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day (known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation for our northern relatives in Canada). it's a day to honor the children who never returned home from residential boarding schools. our family matriarch and my dear Grandma Myrtle is a boarding school survivor. for many, tomorrow is a solemn day. a day of remembrance. it is not appropriate to wish someone a happy orange shirt day. it is not Indigenous peoples' responsibility to educate or share our pain for settler learning. settlers can do their work by educating themselves on the colonial history of boarding schools, reading the federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigative Report here: https://lnkd.in/gFQgw8YS and reflecting on how you are reconciling this abhorrent history in your own life. how are you supporting Indigenous thriving? how are you uplifting Indigenous excellence? do you actively seek out Indigenous voices year round or solely rely on the painful stories shared? we reflect and honor our ancestors by living our traditional values, continuing our cultures, and standing in the face of colonial violence. they did not win. we are still here.

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

Do we ever pause to consider which habits and traditions we carry forward into the future? Which customs are important enough for you to pass on to the next generation, and which ones do you let go of? At Homeland, we take the time to contemplate these questions. How wonderful would it be to raise awareness in our children and make their homeland tangible? To make it moldable for the future. We believe in cherishing the traditions that hold meaning and value, while embracing the evolution that time brings. By instilling a sense of heritage and fostering a deep connection to their roots, we empower our children to shape their own future while honoring the past. Let us embark on this journey together, as we create a legacy that transcends generations. Together, we can build a homeland that is not only preserved, but also transformed into a beacon of progress and unity. May our children inherit a world where their cultural heritage thrives, and where they are inspired to carry it forward with pride and purpose. In the coming months, we will be sharing more about our project Homeland and how children can be a part of this journey. www.stonesstories.com

Today’s International Day of #Families is an opportunity to raise awareness of important family issues. In the latest #European #Yearbook on Human Rights, Domenico Rosani and I had a closer look at one of them: #surrogacy. The European Union is currently working on a new Regulation to ensure the recognition of parenthood across Member States. As Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, 'If you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country'. However, whether this should also apply to parents who resorted to surrogacy is still a hotly debated topic. Our chapter combines human rights perspectives with a private international law analysis to investigate the ongoing legislative debate. Our aim was to address concerns about surrogacy and children's rights (in a way, we hope, accessible also to those unfamiliar with private international law and human rights) – ultimately showing that not all fears are justified. For those interested, you can check out our findings in the Yearbook 2023, pp. 353–390: https://lnkd.in/e6xeFcXU. Special thanks to Lisa Heschl and the entire editorial team (Philip Czech, Karin Lukas, Manfred Nowak, Gerd Oberleitner) as well as to Larcier-Intersentia for their invaluable work.
