Colorado’s woke Democrats fumble first ever Indigenous Peoples Day

Oct 11, 2021

Nothing excites a liberal Democrat more than signaling their virtue and celebrating  their own wokeness than by issuing meaningless declarations of their undying support for human beings with fashionably minority statuses. 

So it’s no surprise Colorado’s leading Democrats were out loud and proud on Twitter today giving recognition that’s been overdue for like, five centuries, on this first ever Indigenous People’s Day proclaimed by President Biden.

“For generations, Federal policies systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures,” Biden wrote in the Indigenous Peoples’ Day proclamation. “Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society.”

Interestingly, Americans on the left of the political spectrum have failed to learn this important historical lesson, and continue to systematically assimilate and eradicate American culture. 

But we digress. 

Our Colorado transplants may not be aware of this, but there are actually two Native American tribes who call the Southwest corner of the state home — the Southern Utes, and the Ute Mountain Utes.

None of the tribes pictured above in U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s random salute appear to be Southern Utes or Ute Mountain Utes.

Today especially, one would expect Colorado Democrats to at least share a photo of themselves visiting native Americans on one of the reservations in their home state.

Hickenlooper was a regular participant in a hunting contest for western elitists at Wyoming’s “One Shot Antelope Hunt.”
The winners appropriated the traditional headdress of Native people.

 

Well, not that one. 

Hickenlooper was a regular participant in a hunting contest for western elitists at Wyoming’s “One Shot Antelope Hunt.”
The losers must wear the headscarves of Eastern Shoshone women and stand or dance with the tribe’s women.

Definitely not that one.

We did find this one photo of U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet from his visit with the Southern Utes, which was (checks notes) six years ago.

It’s been over 500 years since Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered the Bahaman Islands, which was four centuries after Leif Erikson discovered North America. 

So it is way past time for Native American people to get a national day of recognition.

It’s just too bad they have to share their special day with another group of marginalized people. 

In Gov. Polis’s case, he hits the minority trifecta because he’s gay, Jewish, and rich.
