and he's the one that named us Indians, because he thought he was in India,

而且他叫我們印地安人，是因為他以為他到了印度

so he's not a good figure to the native community.

所以他對美國原住民而言並不是個好人

I don't think we should have a holiday for it. (chuckling)

我覺得，我們不該有紀念哥倫布的假日

as like, land that could be claimed, and could be taken.

就好像這是一片可以佔領的土地，可以被奪取的地方

The atrocities committed-- just grotesque, um.

他對我們所施予的暴行....非常惡劣

那時造成的傷痕，我們現在還感受得到

He's the first terrorist in America, that's for sure.

他是美國第一個恐怖份子，毫無疑問

According to the U.S. Government law, it says,

"If you partake in somebody that's stealing, then you're just as guilty."

「如果你是共犯，那你的罪也是一樣重。」

Everybody knows the United States's story line,

so therefore, all those that aren't orig-- aboriginal,

that knows about the genocide, the rape, the murder, the theft,

他們都知道哥倫布對原住民所造成的種族滅亡、侵犯、謀殺、偷竊等等行為

the putting on the reservations on a rock that they couldn't survive on,

還把原住民遷移到根本無法生活的保留區裡

It always was weird to me to have that day off in celebration of somebody.

特地放一天假去紀念這樣的一個人，對我來說真的很詭異

Like, we don't have a day for Hitler, but it's, you know, it's the same thing.

就像是，我們不會有某一個節日是給希特勒的，你知道的，這其實是一樣的事情

Like, there are so many other people that Italian Americans or Italians

就像，除了哥倫布之外，義裔美國人或是義大利人

can hold up as their heroes besides Columbus.

They teach us that Christopher Columbus discovered America.

他們跟我們說克里斯托弗·哥倫布發現美洲

That Christopher Columbus didn't discover anything, and instead got lost.

克里斯托弗·哥倫布沒有發現任何東西，他只是迷路了
