Today is Native American Day. Native American Day celebrates and honors those Native Americans who have been a part of the American tradition even before the nation of the U.S.A. came into being. Sadly, the history of the Native Americans is written in blood and violence. After centuries of persecution, not much is left of the tribes and many have integrated into modern society. Those still in touch with their roots will remember these events and honor their ancestor’s sacrifices. Native American Day is a holiday that hopes to change the way people view Native Americans and their culture.
