  Honestly, I don't get Columbus Day. He wasn't the one who first discovered America. It was the Vikings. FYI

    I think it's because he was first to owen the land he step on. Vikings just came and leaved. Which I think it's great. At least Vikings gave 300 year of freedom to the Indigenous Peoples.

    Five hundred years before Columbus, a daring band of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson set foot in North America and established a settlement.

      Huh....🤔. I knew about Leif Erikson, but I never really thought about it that way. Good thought!

  I think Columbus should be kicked out but the Indigenous should be celebrated every day!

  I Think it could be both so you can choose which one you would like to celebrate/commemorate but I understand the frustration of the indigenous people of the land. But I don’t really know what people think in America though bc I don’t live there. #indigenouspeople#columbus#discoveringamerica#celebration#america

  I think that its the way you see this hoilday. We can admire Columbus's courgage, but remember the cruel ways they did to the Indigenous Peoples that lived there for many years. I think we should remember the cruel ways they did to the Indigenous Peoples and not celebrate Columbus day. But as I said, its the way the people see it. ~ Victoria

    I agree. He was brave, but he was VERY mean to the Indians who lived there first. But like you said, "its the way the people see it".

  I don't want to be rude, but Columbus didn't make it to America first. There is a ton of proof backing up, too. But, I still don't think we should change it. People should be able to choose what they want to celebrate this day as.
