Besides, North America had already been “discovered” by the Native Americans, who had been living there for many generations.

- Talillama약 7년Indigenous Peoples Day. There is already a month for Italian Heritage, besides. Columbus was Spanish not Italian. If Columbus Day is kept, it should be a day of reflection, not a celebration; a memorial of what indigenous peoples went through.
- Nancy약 7년I believe we are tampering with history.... which in itself is full of many imperfections It happened, move forward and respect the day for its positive contributions, as well as the heritage of the many Italian Americans living in the USA, today.
