Triptych image. Left: a teacher points to a chalkboard that says “1492 Columbus Discovers America.” Middle: aerial view of a Mississippian mound surrounded by village huts and forest. Right: modern Indigenous woman in beige shirt, smiling gently. Text reads: “Our teachers taught us what they were given,” “But what if they were only handed part of the story?” and “Columbus shouldn’t be a blindfold — he should be a bridge.”

Columbus shouldn’t be a blindfold — he should be a bridge.
Indigenous civilizations built cities, calendars, and cultures long before 1492.
Reevaluation isn’t betrayal. It’s connection.
