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.

hubabubaman12344년 이하I think we should rename it Indigenous People Day because they were the first to North America, they have been here longer than us, and they feel discriminated against.
ultrajango4년 이하Columbus was horrible to many peaceful native communities, I don't think he should be celebrated.

italygirl4년 이하It should changed to Italian Heritage day definitely#changethename I hope they change it. Its unfair and unright
superlang4년 이하The name of the holiday should DEFINITELY be changed. Columbus, although a brave risk taker, enslaved and tortured many of the people in the Americas. At one point, he was actually arrested for his brutal treatment on the natives living in the western hemisphere. #changethename- americangirl453년 이상Columbus helped one native american tribe by joining with them to fight another tribe who were eating the first tribe!
eddsworld_4life4년 이하Yes! i love your idea!
dream_beyond4년 이하I would prefer if the name Columbus Day stayed the same because I'm not really good with change, and for me it would feel.... odd, but that's just my opinion.
