Here is my best friend's son's interview with ABC News re: Indigenous Peoples' Day [View all]

https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/us-recognizes-indigenous-peoples-day-80521255



He is so accomplished, At age 48, he's a tenured professor at Michigan State University College of Law and the director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center, the author of several books, has argued cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, is a Tribal Judge and travels all over the world speaking on Indigenous Peoples' issues. But to me he'll always be that little kid who loved Star Wars, pretending he's Luke Skywalker, racing around with a toy Millennium Falcon and later, as a teenager, always had his nose in a book. And that's one thing he hasn't lost -- he's still the biggest Star Wars fan out there, lol.
