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.

- Do right!약 7년Le doge master is correct. We should honor the natives who worked the most. Us americans just stole their land!
- wolfdog7년 이하1.) Americans did not steal their land since we came after Columbus discovered the Americas 2.) We did not steal their land, many innocent Europeans didn't either. Just accidently erased Natives 3.) We can settle on any land we want.
- le doge master약 7년I believe that we should at least not celebrate columbus day, or even change the holiday to celebrate the natives, the people who had lived there longer, worked harder, and were much nicer (I assume) than columbus.
- wolfdog7년 이하The Europeans had more advanced technology and they still worked very hard, though?
