Celebrated annually on the second Monday in October, Columbus Day honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. However, the federal holiday, which will be observed on October 14, 2019, has long drawn criticism due to the European settlers' brutal treatment of the Native American people. It has also been argued that America had already been "discovered" by the indigenous people when Columbus arrived.

bookgirlschool12달I have indigenous peoples day and I think it is better than Columbus day.😊
bobross19713년 이하That is true
horselover20114년 이하But guys if Columbus didn't find Cuba and discover north America the USA might have never been a thing
gold3nglare4년 이상Good! Columbus was a bad man. He arrived and was rude to the NATIVES. He killed innocent people and stole their land. Then he claimed he discovered America. I'm called they are honoring the true past and are changing the name. Good for them!
lawurule-1600868106605년 이상Christopher Columbus has done something very wrong, he should have said that those who really discovered America were the indigenous
your_majesty8935년 이상Well, I understand that it would be different if Portugal or France colonized (not discovered, the Tainos already lived there) the Americas, but is it really so important who colonized the place? Spain colonized the Americas, but they don't own it anymore. Really, the people of the United States are more English than Spanish.
venom1313136년 이하I don't think it ,matters that he was a bad person; if he had not sailed to the Americas, the United states might have been colonized by Portugal or France instead of by England. Plus, Columbus was Spanish, so my ancestors (From Germany) never did anything against Indians.- bossshoos09약 6년Columbus did something wrong.(obviously)
- lawurule-1600868106605년 이상I agree
- hurstbergn약 6년I support that they changed it to Indigenous Peoples Day. I'm from Nebraska, so we don't recognize Columbus Day.
- bossshoos09약 6년Im from Texas I never liked the idea of Columbus Day
- your_majesty893약 6년I'm Puerto Rican and Columbus was bad to the Taino Indians (my ancestors). I like that they changed the name.
