Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day will be celebrated on October 13, 2025 (Credit: DCSAgov/ X/ Public Domain)

Columbus Day is celebrated every year on the second Monday in October. In 2025, it falls on October 13. The holiday marks Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492. But critics have long questioned whether the Italian explorer should be celebrated. They assert that his arrival led to the colonization and mistreatment of Native Americans.

      I personally think both should be real, just Indigenous Peoples' Day should be on a different day than Columbus Day, since both have important cultural and political importance.

        Why do they have to be on the same day. it is kind of an insult to anyone who thinks either it should be columbus day or indigenous people's day

                  I think they are saying Columbus was the main colonizer and founder of the US, since he gave Europe the information of America.
