Columbus Day has been a controversial holiday since it was established (Credit: Democracyandme.org/CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Columbus Day, which honors the Italian explorer's October 12, 1492, arrival to the Americas, has been a US federal holiday since 1971. However, the holiday, marked annually on the second Monday of October (October 10th this year), has always been controversial. Many believe that the European settlers' mistreatment of the Native American people is not a cause for celebration.

          Italian Heritage Day and Indigenous People's Day should both be holidays.

                  I think it should definitely think it should be Indigenous Peoples Day. They were here way before Columbus.
