Indigenous Resistance, October 12

Sergio Umbria

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492

They came looted, raped, and killed, in the name
From God, they taught that animals live here because they are
Indigenous people, but in reality they were with more intelligence
That they changed their beliefs and some died
For defending their ancestral cultures

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492

With violence, they subdued, those who for centuries already
They lived in America, discovery, what a big lie
Who should say this? The church?
To the kings? Or to Spain itself? They created fear
Saying that earthquakes were God's punishments for
Reveal yourself to the crown

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492

They called what was an invasion discovery
They educated us by showing that Christopher Columbus
He was a hero who came to the American continent
To educate ourselves, but it was only submission
Indigenous resistance, October 12, 1492
