Many believe that the European settlers' mistreatment of the Native American people is not a cause for celebration.

hawofole-1665424754573년 이상me personally i would not celebrate columbus day bc he is a slave trader.
deafgirlhistory3년 이상My option is that that should be "Indigenous Peoples` Day" instead of "Columbus Day"!
brooklynj3년 이상I mean this makes since. I mean ye Columbus wasn't the frst person to step foot on América. There where already like a million people. And I hate how we takes the credit. So I 100% understand this. ANYWHO HAVE A GREAT DAY Y'ALL BAI!- dog_water3년 이상I can argue with that. But instead of calling it something else, it should probably be an Italian holiday because it was a big feat for them
djdragon3년 이상Interesting.
mara_love3년 이상I think it should be indigenous peoples day and we should learn about indigenous people not Columbus. (plus Columbus does not deserve all the attention he gets)
