昨天是美国原住民日，这是一个全国公认的节日，其设立初衷是为了抗衡哥伦布日。
去年，雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 加入了马刺队的解说团队。托比是马什皮·万帕诺亚格部落的一员，该部落主要聚居于马萨诸塞州和罗德岛州东部地区。
今年，马刺队签下了林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)，他拥有凯厄瓦部落和切罗基部落的双重血统。
昨天，这两人在印第安纳波利斯就这个节日进行了交流。

考虑到马刺队素有汇集全球各地球员的传统，并且球队不仅拥抱球员们带来的多元文化，还帮助将这些文化介绍给整个社区，圣安东尼奥对于托比和沃特斯来说，似乎是一个完美之地。
这让我立刻想起了帕蒂·米尔斯，以及我是如何通过他了解到世界另一个我前所未见的角落。
希望未来他们二人能有更多机会，来分享各自的文化、传统与传承。

Open Thread: Spurs Lindy Waters III shares his thoughts on Indigenous People’s Day
Yesterday was Indigenous People’s Day, a nationally recognized holiday that started as a counter-celebration to Columbus Day.
Last year, Jacob Tobey joined the Spurs broadcast team. Tobey is member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe located predominantly in Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island.
This year the Spurs signed Lindy Waters III, whose background includes both Kiowa and Cherokee tribes.
The two spoke yesterday in Indianapolis regarding the holiday.

San Antonio seems like the perfect place for both Tobey and Waters considering the Spurs penchant for bringing players from all over the globe and not embracing their culture, but helping to introduce that culture throughout the community.
I instantly think of Patty Mills and how I was introduced to a part of the world I’ve never seen.
Hopefully, there will be more opportunities for both to share about their culture, traditions, and heritage.
