I believe that Indigenous Peoples' Day should be celebrated instead of Columbus Day. Columbus was a horrible person, he should be ashamed of the things he's done. The Native Americans were here first, he was searching for gold. He also made up the term "Indians" for them.

The natives' day should be celebrated as if they were the ones who really discovered America, they should even be given credit for being the ones who discovered America.

I agree with but apparently Columbus was not a good person.

Before is write just please note that my spelling is horrible. ok i'm gonna NOT insult anyone's opinion on this but I personally think that we should celebrate indigenous people day, because let's be honest, we don't learn enough about them and the stuff we learn about Chistopher Colombus is kind of over worked, he is a good person in all but he didn't discover lots of thing we are told he did. i think that the indigenous deserve more attention, sure there is orange shirt day but they don't make it a long week end like they do with Colombus day. this is just my opinion on this, please don't take this seriously if support Colombus.

i mean im pretty sure native americans discovered it first

It should be indigneous people's day as being mixed with native american it is an insult for it to be called colombus day when the natives first discoverd america also how can you be the first to discover something that has already been discovered?

Why should we celebrate someone who was very mean to other people? I mean he was a bad person for the things he did.

I think we should celebrate Indigneous Peoples' Day because Columbus did not discover America, he only came there to get a whole bunch of gold... Sorry if I accidentally offend any of you, I am stating my opinion here... :T

Looks like my state replaced Columbus day. The rest should too. In reality, Columbus never made it north of the Caribbean. Plus, the Native Americans were the first to live in the in this land, so Indigenous People's Day would be much better. Columbus was pretty mean, too.

Columbus was a horrible person he should be ashamed
