The second Monday in October has traditionally been known as Columbus Day in honor of the Italian explorer's "discovery" of the Americas on October 12, 1492. However, the US federal holiday, which will be celebrated on October 11 this year, has always been controversial due to the European settlers' cruel treatment of the Native American people.

lobster_of_joy4년 이하make it indigenous people day!
eddsworld_4life4년 이하I think we should change the name to "Indigenous Peoples Day" because Columbus was a bad person that stole someone else's land and home. Plus he wasn't even the first one there it was the Native Americans that were there first. #ChangeTheName!
lox4년 이하I believe we should make it Indigenous People Day
rihanna123454년 이하Keep the name!
nick054년 이하Keeping Columbus Day makes Indigenous People undiscovered.
ilovemymommy4년 이하Why? clombus did nothing good.
lunae4년 이하Columbus wasn't the first to find America and Columbus and the other European settlers were cruel to the Native American's it was not fair for the Native American's and when the European settlers came the Native American's must've gotten diseases. In my opinion I think Columbus is bad.
knowledgeseeker4년 이하that's also true #fact
tifajipi-1597860858514년 이하This is a good idea, and they are right, Christopher Columbus did not find America. I know this did not make sense.
roxanneroxyfoxy4년 이하Wow, I liked this
shocksling4년 이하If Christopher Columbus didn't arrive on October 12, 1492, all of history would be different. Who knows if the Natives would have killed him? ( considering that their weaponry was being upgraded) many of us in the comments section is currently in the United States (obviously). Sure, Columbus made mistakes, but that doesn't mean we can't give him credit for all the colonizing that happened back then. #Keep the Name- knowledgeseeker4년 이하I never thought of that good thinking
- knowledgeseeker4년 이하but the natives also should be recognized #tiednow
- bond23674년 이하I believe they should not change the name because the Indigenous Men and Women think everything needs to be changed because it's "Too offensive". But, Yes I believe what Chris did was very wrong but they have kept this a national holiday for 84 years and I will like to keep it for another 84 years. #keepthename
