Oh, bravo to the genius who decided to deface the stones by McKinley Park Lagoon with their oh-so-enlightened graffiti. Clearly, they’re the pinnacle of respect for the community and a walking encyclopedia of history. “Land Back” and “F— Columbus”? Truly a profound manifesto. Land back to whom, exactly? The first folks who strolled over from Euro-Asia via Siberia to Alaska 20,000–30,000 years ago called the Paleo-Indian during the Ice Age? Or maybe the ones who left those trendy footprints in White Sands, New Mexico, 23,000 years ago, throwing shade at the old migration timelines? Perhaps the artist envisions returning the land to some ancient boaters who might’ve surfed along the Pacific coast—evidence pending, of course. If they paid for their history lessons, they should demand a refund with that kind of scholarly brilliance.
