Columbus Day, observed annually on the second Monday of October, commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas on October 12, 1492. The day has been traditionally celebrated as a recognition of Columbus’ exploration and the subsequent interactions between Europe and the Americas. However, in recent years, Columbus Day has sparked discussions about its historical significance, with many advocating for a greater focus on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which highlights the history and culture of Native American communities.
Columbus Day remains a federal holiday in the United States, marked by parades, events, and discussions about its impact on history. As conversations about the legacy of Columbus continue, the day also provides an opportunity to reflect on the broader history of exploration, colonisation, and its lasting effects.
