June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day, Go Skateboarding Day, and the first day of summer.
It is a great day to think about the history of the country and the genocide perpetrated on the original inhabitants of the land , a great day to have fun and go skateboarding, and the beginning of the best season of the year , and also the shortest one in this country.
Some of these things may seem contradictory to each other, but you can find time for all of them .
They don't have to exclusive of each other.
For example, read about the inspiring ( and sometimes heartbreaking ) story about Joe Buffalo .
Be well and have a great day.
