• Fort Lewis College alumnus Ken Walker suggested that the colonization of America was illegal during a presentation at the school's "Real History of the Americas" event.
• The presentation was dedicated to Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of Columbus Day.
• Walker said that “our Independence Day reveres the birth of a nation, but one built upon the genocide of indigenous peoples.”
