. >> vaughn sharp is the president of national congress of american indians and she joins me from lain quinnault, washington. thank you for being with us. president biden became the first president to proclaim friday indigenous people's day but as we just heard there, unlike many cities and states, he didn't replace columbus day with indigenous people's day. was that a mistake? making this a half measure and not fully replacing indigenous people's day? >> i think it's a step in the right direction. we know as tribal nations there is a truth to be told and there are many truths that make up this country. as we progress and as we reconcile with our past, we're taking incremental steps. ultimately we do see this as a very positive move. >> would you like to see it replaced? >> yes, a absolutely. >> also making news, the president undoing the cuts by the trump administration to two national monuments in utah. this puts 2 million acres back into the national monuments. i went there a couple of years ago to cover that issue when president trump was about to shrink those areas by some 85% and

i'm an american indian.mination as a young man who enjoyed playing sports, baseball in particular. as i played and most of my teammates during that summer, i can remember it very vividly. they were caucasian, and what those young men did during that time -- and i was the only person of color on that team. they shielded me from discrimination. they protected me from discrimination coming out of the stands. and i will never forget that. it was as if there was just recently that those folks were screaming racist remarks to me, against me, and that's why i'm running for congress as someone who will unite and not divide. but, you know, of course i'm proud of where i'm at today on hb2. >> in terms of your particular race, your strict is actually a district that donald trump won. how do you think you can turn that around? what message are you going to bring to the campaign trail in 2022 that will attract that voter that came out in 2020 and supported donald trump? >> yes. thank you. that's a good question, zerlina.

awlaki tell you is this would shock chinese american, indian americans, black, nigerian, and west indianwho are objectively some of the most successful people in this very diverse country. i don't know who this is coming from, but it's far more likely to be woke white progressives than normal minority parents. i mean, 60 or 70% of whom support charter schools and a tense education. there's no good place for this to go. if you go to a school with no grades or harsh words, you're going to be very, very shocked by how your sergeant or your students treats you uh the year after you graduate. black people as capable of turning in work and showing up on time and so forth as anybody else, the underlying assumption mind this kind of thing is we are not -- there's no good outcome from that. you're not going to be in high school the rest of your life pull up your pant, young man. >> shannon: okay. you literally wrote the book on this, on hate crime hokes. from the st. louis dispatch, in the situation in missouri, they said in a letter keith marte said a black student has admitted to writing racist

i asked the president of the national congress of american indians for her reaction to vice presidentt is the one comment that truly resonated with me, and the reaction across indian country was it was welcome, it was long overdue. and to finally have a representative of the united states acknowledge that our history is based on a premise of lies is truly the beginning of our healing, restoration and reconciliation with a very cold, dark history and past of the united states. and words clearly are important and powerful, especially when spoken from someone with such a position, but i'm interested in the practicalities. what do you hope happens now? yeah, so what we hope will happen with this president and this vice president and administration is that the united states will finally live up to the fundamental values that are enshrined in the un declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples. when the un adopted that document in 2007, four countries oppposed it — canada, australia, new zealand and the united states. under president 0bama, the united states was the last country to rever
