As someone who can trace my ancestry to a specific American Indian
tribe, I can say we were happy to join the white man they kept the
Pequots from killing us.

Be like us Americans, and celebrate the day you got rid of the Brits.

Actually, Australia Day is a bit divisive here falling as it does on
26th January. Many aboriginal people feel (with a fair bit of
justification) that it commemorates the British invasion of their
country. It's an important day in Australia's history but it's not
inclusive of all Australians. It would be nice if we had an
equivalent
of Waitangi Day.
