Indigenous People’s Day should remind all of us of the spiritual heritage, indigenous to this continent, that we sought to destroy but which we so need now: connection to land, connection to tribe, and connection to Great Spirit.

Absolutely... It's Columbus Day for the many who want to celebrate the myth & revisionist history of Christopher Columbus's legacy no matter how inaccurate that legacy may be. Also, it's a day to honor & show respect to those who were persecuted by Columbus amongst other's..

The myth & revisionist history of Columbus's legacy has become something entirely more. It's become a day of Italian American pride & a day to reflect on Italian American history & achievements. Therefore, we celebrate Columbus Day based on that principle.
