As fruit of that repentance, a resolution was passed to move away from honoring Christopher Columbus who treated Native Peoples cruelly and inhumanely and move to a place of honoring Native Peoples. Turning away from our frequent refusal to listen to history from the perspective of Native Peoples, we understand that repentance is a choice to grow in the way we see ourselves and others. We live in a spirit of repentance as we explore a change in how we tell and celebrate the story of the Americas. Upper New York Annual Conference offers this liturgy to all local churches for use on a Sunday near the weekend our country traditionally celebrates Columbus Day. Let us re-purpose this holiday to honor Native Peoples.
