Time To Correct The History Books: Elder Russell Means "Columbus Must Die" Speech
Channel: Jaguar Bird
Date: 2018-03-12

This is a series of audio-segments from Colorado, 1991..,
when.Elder Russell Means, gave a rendition of his "Columbus
 Must Die" speech.. He delivered a longer version  in July 1980.., entitled: "If America Is To Live, Europe Must Die". 

For people who may be alarmed and/or offended by these words..,
 I suggest.., that Elder Russell was referring to the mistakenly written history books.., colonialism., prejudice.. and the many burdens & injustices placed on the Indigenous Nation as a whole.., by many of the European "land-claimers" that arrived here.., that he wanted to see "killed".. and not any living person.

  It is not my belief, that Elder Russell wished for anyone to die..,
 but for people  to just come forth and admit the truths that have been buried... and right the wrongs.., .. that have been made..  

I again "suggest"..., that if he could re-write the title from Spirit.., it would be something more like: "'Columbus-ism Must Die".
