"A Rose is a Rose by any other name"
Would Skandinavians' Day be more appropriate?

Re: Minneapolis Changes "Columbus Day" To "Indigenous People's Day"
If it's going to be called Indigenous People's Day", then it should be called that in remembrance of the day that civilization was finally brought to the NA Indians.
Without the Whitman helping out the Indians they would have continued to struggle.

Christophere Columbus was not a person. Not any trace of his existance can be found neither before or after the alleged event.

Re: Minneapolis Changes "Columbus Day" To "Indigenous People's Day"
I assume you mean Christopher, and there is enough evidence he was a person and did exist, even though he was Italian and not Spanish. He made several sailings to the "new world" but died penniless and in obscurity.

Celebrating Genocide – Christopher Columbus’ Invasion of America
The Spanish Conquest of the Americas, preceded by its “discovery” by Christopher Columbus (or Cristóbal Colón as he was known by the Spanish Crown) resulted in mass assimilation, raping, slaughtering, enslaving, and intention to wipe out all evidence of a native population of between 50 and 100 million indigenous people from the land — the greatest genocide in recorded history. These well-documented atrocities include:
Celebrating Genocide – Christopher Columbus’ Invasion of America

These well-documented atrocities include:
- Forced hard labor.
- Abducting and selling children into the sex trade as young as nine-years-old.
- Mass raping of women and children.
- The amputation of limbs if slaves were not producing ‘enough’.
- Labelled as hostile savages if not in complete compliance with their oppressors. Buried alive or burnt alive if you were resistant to the conquerors demands.
- Offering cash rewards for the scalps of men, women, and children as proof of murder.
- Intentionally spreading smallpox disease, an early means of biological warfare.
- Forced removal from homes and land onto small reservations with barren, unlivable conditions.
- Death marches of more than one-thousand miles to these reservations in which, if you were unable to continue the walk, you were left for dead and unable to assist dying family members.
- On these same reservations “reserved” for the indigenous people, once this land was deemed valuable, the reservation agreement was broken and they were forced to move once again. All 370 treaties signed between the U.S Government and Indian nations have been broken by the United States.
