The idea
It would be nice to see you in Boston proper a statue of Native American or attribute to a group of Native Americans It's important we honour them on taken land.
Who it helps and why
There is a sad statistic that Native Americans are most likely out of any racial group to commit suicide. This was all of their land, and through much pain, trauma, there is very little traces of their people's here. They deserve to at least be acknowledged with a public statue / monument - and not in an inconspicuous place either.
