Columbus Day has been a fixture on American calendars since 1937, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who “discovered” the Americas in 1492. However, the holiday, whose date has since been changed to the second Monday of October, has always been somewhat controversial. Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for “discovering” the continent, since Native Americans had already been residing there for generations.

I guess having both days is the best idea for this.- cool facts5년 이상its called Columbus day because when Christopher Columbus found it he called them Indians so it could not have been refereed to as indigenous people day because he did not think that they were indigenous.
