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.

nerdyriley097년 이하My opinion? Indigenous Peoples' Day, of course! Columbus may have been an explorer and he may have "found" America, but he also took homes from the native people! EVer since I found out he disgraced the Native Americans, I've always thought of it as Indigenous Peoples' Day!- no name7년 이하he might be a founding father but he is a monster for hurting insistent people

- common sense7년 이하In school they don't teach you that Christopher Columbus slaughtered the Native Americans
- Doc7년 이하I don't think that changing it to Indigenous Peoples Day would make a difference. I mean to be honest I think Columbus did Natives wrong. However The Indians also killed may innocent settlers. If we abolish Columbus Day we will forget who got many Latino's here. It would not be a wise choice just because of some politicians, who say that Columbus Day is Racist. Just like the Confederate flag don't forget your heritage. Everyone's family, country, or heritage has bad people. But honestly. If you deny your heritage you deny who you are.
