  I 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!

    I agree. Fun fact: The Vikings first discovered America

  I think Columbus Day should be erased from the United States, for it is celebrating Columbus didn't actually discover America, the Natives did. Also, Columbus killed many Native people for the killing of innocent Native Americans. All in all, I think that Colombus Day, a day celebrating someone who killed many innocent people, should be erased from the U.S, and should be replaced by a holiday that celebrates the true discoverers: Indigenous Peoples Day .

  I think it should be indigenous peoples day because Columbus toke native Americans as slaves he also toke credit for things he did not even do like finding america indigenous people found america not him! We should not be honering Christopher Columbus for doing such a thing.

  what I think this day should be called is indigenes day. Because 1 Kristofer Columbus was not the first person to arrive in America, the ideans where achily the first person to arrive in America, ao that means that the Indians where the first people ao it should be Indians day.

  I think there should be indigenous people's day because Columbus didn't find America. He took Natives as slaves, and he is taking other people's credit! Why do we celebrate that? I think we should give more credit to the Russians for what they did not Columbus. That is why I think there should be Indigenous People day.

  I think it should be called indigenous people's day because Christopher Columbus did not discover America. The, Native American settlers who were there before Christopher Columbus landed in America. And, Christopher Columbus did not mean to land in America because he thought that America was India but he didn't know that there was a whole entire continent in between India and Europe.

  I think that it should be called indigenous people day because 1 he wasn't even the first European . 2 there were already indigenous people there. 3 he was brutal to the people there.

    4. He killed and took their land 5. he didn't discover America. The Vikings did. Then the Native Americans came. Then Columbus did. I think that when you Google American, a Native American should show up. They are the *natives* of this place, but their land was taken from them, which is not fair to them. Columbus day should not be celebrated

  I think the holiday should be indigenous peoples day because Columbus treated many indigenous people badly, the first people to be on america, they may not of named it but they discovered it, and Christopher Columbus didn't even really mean to "discover" it he couldn't barley find it also the indigenous people treated him well. We should celebrate indigenous people they found america and got no mention or applaud.
