Indigenous People's Summer

~ 'Injun Summer' ~ Orange glow fades from twilight sky Pumpkins grin, full moon is nigh It's Injun Summer, in the midwest Harvests gathered to farmers' nests __________________________________ 'Injun Summer' is what unusually warm, sunny days at the end of October used to be called. But in 2021, Indigenous People's Summer, having replaced Columbus Day... Oh, never mind... A big shout-out to John John Lawless for updating my heretofore myopic, outdated perspective. (lol) ~ gw

I have to defer to John Lawless (below). We are rewriting history successfully now in the USA! (CRT, BLM, JB & KH = Prosperity). Who am I to interfere? LOL... Actually, there's a great photo of a painting that the Chicago Tribune used to run every year titled 'Injun Summer.' So that's how it always was for me...
