Columbus Day Christopher Columbus left Italy on August 13, 1492, to find a new path to the West Indies. Although the debate rages on about whether or not Christopher Columbus really "discovered" America, one thing is for sure, he was a brave sailor. In a time when most people believed the world was flat, Columbus set sail to find far away places.

Required Materials: Encounter by Jane Yolen, illustrated by David Shannon, an American textbook that has information about Columbus discovering the New World or another picture book with a Euro-centric view of Columbus, and a book of optical illusions (with a picture that has two images based on how you look at it).

Ask the class what they saw and point out the discrepancy between the two groups. Explain perspective.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Web posted Monday, October 12, 1998 5:38 a.m. CT Some say time to teach atrocities of Columbus By CARMEL PEREZ SNYDER Globe-News Staff Writer In elementary school, children learn about Christopher Columbus, the founder of the New World. They learn about his ships, his adventures and his discoveries. But more than 500 years after Columbus landed on a Caribbean island's shore, some Americans want students to learn more the man. "Historically he is an important person," said Jen Shunatona Cale, a member of Amarillo's Native American community. "But culturally, it's different. He saw the openness of the people he `discovered' and took advantage of their generosity and benevolence." Cale said children should be taught about the price Native Americans paid for European exploration and settlement. Since the 500th anniversary of Columbus' journey in 1992, more multi-cultural groups, including historians and educators, have campaigned to reform American history and do away with Columbus Day, which is celebrated today. "As we prepare to enter a new millennium, it's time to say goodbye to Columbus," said Phillip Martin, on the Web site of Rethinking School: Resources for Equity and Justice.

Columbus Day A Reason to Celebrate? Letter to the Editor dated October 12, 1997 (reprinted with permission) How history is taught to our children is directly linked to how we view America's past and present. We must seriously rethink and question how Columbus' landfall in 1492 should or should not be commemorated. Textbooks do not accurately reflect the governorship of Columbus and his two brothers over what are now Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Some historians would have us turn our faces from the greed, terror and cruelty that resulted in the annihilation of between one quarter and one half million Indigenous Peoples in Hispanola. That is the record. They were not converted to Christianity, as some would have us believe. They were wiped out. We must not embrace and celebrate a myth that underwrites the superiority of one race over another. The kind of thinking that ignores the record and overlooks the decimation of entire populations in the name of religion is dangerous at the very least. We cannot turn our faces from the fact the United States is a nation on stolen land and has become wealthy despoiling resources and an environment that belongs to the Indigenous Peoples. The legacy of violence, thievery, degradation and murder which began more than 500 years ago pursues us into this century and is seen in the decay of society around us. The assaults against Indigenous Americans continue in 1997. United States Sen. Slade Gorton's blatant attacks against the Indigenous Peoples of America, the continuing war of the state of Alaska against the Human Rights and Sovereignty of it's Indigenous Peoples, and the onslaughts directed against the Tribal members of the Lakota Nations of the states of South and North Dakota.

15. AFSC Colorado Statement On Columbus Day - Summer 2000 Footsteps not the ideal role model through whom we need to teach these important columbus Daywas first celebrated and sanctioned by the government of Colorado in 1907 http://www.afsc.org/cro/co/su0104.htm

Footsteps AFSC Colorado Office newsletter Summer AFSC Colorado Statement on Columbus Day The Italian and Italian-American communities have suffered discrimination and many hardships and have many true heroes and role models worthy of respect. There are many noble grounds upon which to base a celebration of Italian culture without glorifying Columbus, the man who led the invasion of the continents now known as North and South America. This European invasion was expressed through raping, pillaging and murdering, and resulted in on-going oppression, economic exploitation, and basic lack of respect for human life. Indigenous Peoples inhabited the continents now known as North and South America for thousands of years before the voyages of Christopher Columbus, and, therefore, he could not have "discovered America." He merely incorporated it into the European world-view. The invasion led by Christopher Columbus completely annihilated the Taino people. The principal methods of this annihilation were "outrageous torture," rape, and murder, documented by Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas. The introduction of previously unknown, foreign diseases such as syphilis and small pox killed the remainder of the existing population. These actions, condoned and committed by Christopher Columbus and his subordinates, led to an accepted and systematic genocide of indigenous peoples. This legacy stills manifests itself in the laws, acts and manners of local, national and global political and economic institutions and their leaders.

One grew up in north Denver when it was still dominated by the close-knit Italian community, and only wandered as far as the Italian enclaves in Arvada and Wheat Ridge. The other spent his time in Kansas City's Little Italy, having his scrapes with the law before going off to do refugee work in Central America and settling in Denver as a counselor to troubled youth - and more scrapes with the law. George Vendegnia, a barber and businessman for 25 years, organized a new lodge of the Sons of Italy a few years ago specifically to resurrect the parade and evoke some of the old days in north Denver when the streets were filled with Italian families and local business.Denver transplant Carl Michael "C.M." Mangiaracina has gone from Kansas City to Managua, Nicaragua, San Salvador, El Salvador, and California before returning to Colorado, where he had done post-graduate work in Greeley in the early 1970s.
