I only got around to looking at your post this morning of the Spanish D?a de 
la Hispanidad, known as Columbus Day in the US, and I call it Genocide Day. 
Goot to see a young Native American woman like Jaelynn, and also a nice 
story you link to?not nice overall, but at least with a good ending.

Cheers,
Nathan
