“Living it again” needn”™t happen; but it is “lived again”
 “Living it again” is forced on Indigenous peoples by constant “reminders” of the tragedies of the colonization of the Americas. Protests of this continued inhumanity are also repeated and the occasion pictured here was at U.S. Bank Stadium October 24, 2019 as the Minnesota “Vikings” football team played the Washington D.C. football team.
