In Honor of -Indigenous Peoples Day- - Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators eBook is on Sale for 99cts American principalities, such as Seattle, Minneapolis and Berkeley, are setting the precedence to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day. More and more communities are acknowledging the devastation inflicted on at least 118 million indigenous North Americans with some estimates being as high as 145 million people killed, since the fateful day when Christopher Columbus mistook America for India as he came to conquer in 1492. As a result, the Native American population dwindled to less than 200,000 by the turn of the century. In addition to catastrophic loss of life, there was a concentrated effort by the US and Canadian governments and religious groups to replace their native customs and cultures with “civilized” European ways. Despite these enormous setbacks, today’s indigenous people are the courageous leaders of numerous grassroots movements, such as Idle No More, which advocate for protection of the land and water. In recognition of Indigenous People’s Day, the eBook Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators by Shaman Elizabeth Herrera is on sale for 99¢, October 10-13. This fictional story “reads as a non-fictional account of the spiritual side of the indigenous people and the problems facing our world today. A must read!” says Dennis Nighthawk, healer, spiritual leader and tribe member of the White Laurel Band of Cherokee. - See more at: ift.tt/1oTmgGa DatSyn News - In Honor of Indigenous Peoples Day
