Columbus Day, which is commemorated annually on the second Monday in October, has been a US federal holiday since 1934. However, the celebration, honoring Christopher Columbus's arrival to the Americas, has always been somewhat controversial due to the European settlers' brutal treatment of the Native American people. It has also been argued that the indigenous people had already "discovered" America by the time Columbus landed on the Bahamian island he named San Salvador on October 12, 1492.

grimauxilitrixx약 5년I believe that Indigenous Peoples' Day should be celebrated instead of Columbus Day. Columbus was a horrible person, he should be ashamed of the things he's done. The Native Americans were here first, he was searching for gold. He also made up the term "Indians" for them.
patricianfosure약 5년Dude he kinda thought he was in India so yeah Indians... And plus we don't know FOR SURE that he was mean

determinedowl23약 5년Looks like my state replaced Columbus day. The rest should too. In reality, Columbus never made it north of the Caribbean. Plus, the Native Americans were the first to live in the in this land, so Indigenous People's Day would be much better. Columbus was pretty mean, too.- liz_legend_13약 4년My state, South Dakota, happened to lead in the efforts by renaming Columbus Day to Native American Day, making them the first state to do so (that includes Indigenous Peoples' Day).
ariannagotgo5년 이상I think indigenous day should be celebrated because Columbus came and said we were the first ones that came to the USA

dangerkitty5년 이상I think we should celebrate Indigneous Peoples' Day because Columbus did not discover America, he only came there to get a whole bunch of gold... Sorry if I accidentally offend any of you, I am stating my opinion here... :T
