Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day will both be celebrated on October 14 (Credit: ndepeendenceks.gov/ Public Domain)

Columbus Day is observed annually on the second Monday of October. It commemorates Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in 1492. However, this US federal holiday, which falls on October 14 this year, has often been a topic of debate. Many believe that the European settlers' mistreatment of the Native American people is not a cause for celebration.

    I'm gonna be completely honest I don't celebrate Columbus day for two reasons. Number one is because I'm partially Native American and number two is that Columbus never actually stepped foot in North America. He took credit for finding land that another guy found and people believed him.
