A MODEST PROPOSAL....
The following letter was published in this week’s issue of the Gazette.
To the editor:
Today we are spending a lot of time reviewing our history and how we are the beneficiaries of that shameful past. What we are not spending any time on is specific steps to atone for our shame.
As the Village of Croton Board of Trustees noted in the June 15 resolution, all of us are living on lands which once belonged to a branch of the Algonquin tribe. For a brief period of time last year, here in Westchester had a fad whereby at the start of a meeting, the first speaker would ask if there were any Lenape “elders” who objected to us speaking. The trend faded in part because there are no nearby Lenape, elder or otherwise. I have a modest proposal to address at least this particular collective shortcoming. READ THE REST HERE.
HAH! LOVED THIS! AND WHY NOT! PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS CROTON PEOPLE. SO FUNNY!
