Why do you want to celebrate dudes who advocated for slavery? I don’t think they need to be celebrated, and I probably have ancestors on my mom’s side who fought to the confederacy. If I’m not celebrating em there’s no reason you should be!

Multiple Native American tribes also fought for slavery. Some like the Chickasaw prevented former slaves to gain rights in the tribe or citizenship. This isn’t to forget slave practices elsewhere

Ok so then don’t celebrate indigenous peoples day. It comes down to your personal compass.
