After the 1000-person Climate Crisis Parade in downtown Des Moines, indigenous leaders and allies demonstrated at the State Capitol "to insist that this country put an end to monuments of white supremacy that celebrate and ignore indigenous genocide." The demonstration "reminded the community that most don't know how hard it is as an indigenous person to see murals and monuments that depict whitewashed history that hides the truth of the terror that settler vigilantes imposed on us. It's time for the lies to stop."
The focus of the demonstration was a statue of a "pioneer of the former territory." The State of Iowa website describes this statue as "a father and son guided by a friendly Indian in search of a home."
