How dare those Renaissance people act like Renaissance people!
How dare they explore their world and try to use it.
They should have been content with life as it was!!

But Kamala, if they had not done their exploring,
how could you have made a video to promote space exploration
with professional child actors who auditioned for the parts?

"Kamala Harris denounces European explorers for ushering in 'wave of
devastation' for Native Americans

Harris accused the Europeans of 'perpetrating violence, stealing land,
and spreading disease'

White House denies Harris office child actors for space exploration video
White House correspondent Peter Doocy reports on the latest with the
vice president's video on ‘Special Report’.

Vice President Kamala Harris denigrated the European explorers who
discovered the Americas during a Tuesday speech at the National Congress
of American Indians 78th Annual Convention.

"Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage
of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the
Americas," said Harris. "But that is not the whole story. That has never
been the whole story.

"Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for Tribal nations —
perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease," she
continued. "We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must
shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the
past on Native communities today."

Harris also claimed that President Biden's Build Back Better agenda will
have "a significant impact on Indian Country."

After citing the statistics of missing Native American women and girls
and claiming the voting rights of Native Americans are suppressed,
Harris said, "Native Americans are more likely to live in poverty, to be
unemployed, and often struggle to get quality healthcare and to find
affordable housing."

"This persistent inequity, this persistent injustice is not right. And
the pandemic has only made it worse," she added.

Harris said Biden's $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill will help many of
the problems Native Americans face.

"This bill represents the largest infrastructure investment our nation
has made since before World War II and presents, right now, an important
opportunity to strengthen Indian Country," she said.

On Monday, Biden became the first president to mark the second Monday in
October as Indigenous Peoples Day with a presidential proclamation.

"For generations, Federal policies systematically sought to assimilate
and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures," Biden wrote.
"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."
