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.

- savagegirlYT7년 이하i think they should change it to ingenuous day because Columbus didn't 'really discover that the were already there when Columbus came. And because Columbus brought an army that kind The natives that were there. Also because the native that survived were forced to be a slave and work for Columbus.

- Bubbles7년 이하I completely and wholeheartedly agree. If Christopher Columbus didn't ever actually make it to the American mainland and wasn't on a voyage of discovery but a journey for land conquest then it completely defeats the purpose of having a day in the year to celebrate him. After he ruthlessly killed so many Native Americans without flinching how can we honor such a monster? The idea of changing the name to honor Native Americas sounds lovely and I'm sure that they would be proud if they knew what we were trying to do. Now, of course, this is just my opinion and you are free to support whichever side you choose. Happy Indigenous People's Day!
