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.

- mewekosa-1602505791075년 이상I agree with indigenous day. Its messed up to just murder a bunch people and call the land they were already on ' The new land' Like you didn't discover that area. That's like saying you discovered Nevada even tho people are already there.
sisicibe-1602505790975년 이상I think it should be Indigenous People'a day because first Christopher Columbus did not find America it was the indigenous people that found America, plus Columbus was taking credit for things he did not even do. Years ago Columbus toke indigenous people or native Americans as slaves that is why it should be Indigenous People's day.- lejybire-1602505791125년 이상Christopher Columbus stole the land I didn't really find the land they took Native Americans for slave and he brought sicknesses . thay Welcome to turn into their home .
- hafemese-1602505791015년 이상I think that it should be indigenous people day because first of all Columbus treated the indigenous people very badly when they didn't even do anything second there were other people in America before Columbus so I don't think Columbus really found it first and Third, he took a bunch of credit for something he didn't do and acted like it was him that found it.
- tomupely-1602505791085년 이상I think both Columbus Day and Indigenous People day should exist because if someone inherited more of the side Christopher Columbus was on then they might get disappointed and angry and if someone was more on the Indigenous side they might get mad that they got there holiday removed so in conclusion, it would be better to celebrate both holidays.
