I finally stopped thinking of the Clovis people as the 'first' Americans after a talk with a grad student at a dig in New Mexico.

Oh man, that's wild. It's crazy how we just learn one story in school and never question it. Makes you wonder what else we got wrong, lol.

Columbus Day always gets me, @rowanw91. We learned he "discovered" America but never about the people already here or the awful stuff that came after. It's like that with a lot of holidays and brand names too. You dig a little and find out the real story is way more messy, lmao. Makes you side-eye everything they taught us.

Right? It's like the whole system is built on a bunch of half-truths. You gotta unlearn so much as an adult.
