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.

- georgepearrison7년 이하indigenous people's day should be celebrated. there's nothing to celebrate on columbus day, as columbus virtually did nothing. :)
- moo7년 이하Most people that read this only look at the perspective of the indigenous people; basically, Columbus is a horrible person and all that. But if you're one of those people, try to look at it from a different view. First of all, Columbus was trying to go to India when he accidentally stumbled across America. He wasn't aiming to kill all those indigenous people, he just wanted to find new land. If Columbus didn't discover America and tell the people in Europe or wherever, there would be no United States. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be free to do whatever we want. There's a reason the US is a free country, and it's because of Columbus. And if Columbus never stepped foot on the mainland, how did he kill millions of people? think about it
