Nek ‘n-ew Roni Jo Draper. I teach multicultural education for people becoming teachers. I am a Yurok tribal member. A while back, I entered my BYU classroom, passed out candy and said to my students, “Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day.” Most students smiled and took the candy. One student raised her hand and, in a voice generally reserved for scolding others, told me how the Book of Mormon testifies of Columbus, and that I should show more appreciation for him. After class, she followed me to my office where she shared her earnest feelings about the sanctity of Columbus and how her mother venerated him and told stories about him at their dinner table. Finally, my student insisted that I give Columbus equal time in my classroom.
