historical truths about the genocide and oppression of indigenous
peoples in the Americas, to organize against current injustices, and to
celebrate indigenous resistance.
Designated by Franklin D Roosevelt as “Columbus Day” in 1937, the 12th
of October is the date that Christopher Columbus first “discovered” the
Americas.

Each October 12 Venezuela and latin america commemorates
the “Day of Indigenous Resistance” as a means to recognize the Americas’
fight for self-determination, unity and cultural and human diversity.
The day also serves to vindicate the indigenous peoples of the American
continent and as well as the contributions made by the African, Asian
and European culture and peoples.
This commemoration celebrates the spirit
of dialogue, peace and justice between civilizations, in accordance to
articles 107, 119, 126, 226 and numeral 24 of article 236 of the
Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Furthermore, as established in Decree
2028, dated October 11, 2002, each October 12 will be used to
commemorate and recognize the indigenous peoples of the Americas. With
this referred legal disposition, the celebration of the Day of
Indigenous Resistance was included in the official calendar as well as
in school history books.
Today, those indigenous peoples, who
have been dignified by the Bolivarian revolution, keep the struggles
alive for the real conquest of more spaces and rights.
