"We all know the name of the man who came here from Europe, but none of
us knows the name of the people who were here first—and there were
hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them. Why haven’t you heard
of them?"
We have similar issues here in Australia, where the right wing want to
prevent the teaching of what they call the "black armband" version of
history, and want to encourage further the glorification of Western
Civilisation in the school curriculum. Because we must maintain the
status quo and not encourage criticism of the ancestors of the current
leaders!
