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.

fopavazefecyzy5년 이상I think people should be able to celebrate what they believe in but I think indigenous peoples day because, Columbus didn't really do anything. Columbus and the men that were with him enslaved a lot of these Native Americans that lived on the land. He treated them horrible with no respect at all. Christopher Columbus should not have a holiday. He was not nice to the people that lived on the land. He took there land and made it his own by giving it his own name too!

gold3nglare5년 이상1. The Vikings technically found America first. (Leif Ericson) 2. Christopher Columbus mistreated and murdered innocent Native Americans 3. Columbus wasn't even looking for America in the first place. He was looking for India

tukatihu-1602126748985년 이상I think Columbus day should not be celebrated because the native Americans had been there for thousands of years before he got there, and he killed hundreds of them for no apparent reason other than he disliked them. he is just cruel and should not get his own holiday. I think Columbus day should be replaced with indigenous people's day.
