Indigenous Peoples’ Month kicks off

B y PIERCE WILSON The Dartmouth

On Oct. 14, Native American students launched a month-long celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Month, which began with a demonstration on the Green recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a holiday celebrated on the same day as the federal holiday Columbus Day. According to Native Americans at Dartmouth copresident Onaleece Colegrove ’20, the “silent protest” on the

Green sought to “take back [Indigenous Peoples’ Day] and recognize indigenous people instead of glorifying Columbus.” NAD co-president and Indigenous Peoples’ Month programming committee cochair Elsa Armstrong ’20 shared similar sentiments, explaining that NAD often recognizes the beginning of Indigenous Peoples’ Month with a protest on the Green during Indigenous Peoples’

Booker spoke to nearly 500 students and community members at the Top of the Hop.

B y LAUREN ADLER The Dartmouth

Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker spoke on Sunday night to a standing room-only audience of nearly 500 Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents who crowded into the Top of the Hop and overflow space in the lobby below. Booker, a U.S. senator from New Jersey, was introduced by Quentin Law, the Upper Valley student organizer for the Booker campaign, and New Hampshire state senator Martha Hennessey (D-Hanover), who recently endorsed Booker for president. Although at first she was determined to support

a female candidate and met with all of the women running for the Democratic nomination, Hennessey said that she decided to back Booker because she believes he can bring Americans together. “I decided we needed somebody who would heal our nation,” Hennessey said. “Everybody who gets up there [on the debate stage] has plans, has ideas, but who can heal our nation? Who can bring us together and make us whole again? I personally believe that person is Cory.” Walking on stage to a playlist that included Lizzo’s “Good as Hell” and Florence + the Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over,” Booker was

greeted with cheers from the audience. “Let’s just jump in!” Booker began, pausing to acknowledge his endorsers in the room and audience members downstairs. He quipped that 2020 is not the election year, but rather the number of Democrats running for president, then quickly progressed to more serious issues, discussing the work he did while serving as mayor to refor m the public school system in his hometown of Newark, NJ and the importance of American unity. “The highest calling of a Democrat right now in SEE BOOKER PAGE 2
