Columbus Day, which is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October to honor the Italian explorer credited with “discovering” the Americas, has always been somewhat of a controversial holiday. That’s because while Christopher Columbus stumbled upon what we now call the Caribbean on October 12, 1492, he never set foot on the mainland – even on his subsequent three journeys. Besides, North America had already been “discovered” by the Native Americans, who had been living there for many generations.

- Sr. Grinch7년 이하I think it should be indigenous people day because Christopher Columbus came to America and didn’t even care that there were people there, he just claimed it for Spain. He killed and enslaved the indigenous people so I don’t think he should have a whole day that celebrates his discovery.
