Communities in the United States have been replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day in recent years. The movement to change the focus and narrative of the holiday has gained momentum, with many parts of the country now recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day.

This is exactly why we should be celebrating Columbus day https://t.co/VxdkbzpjN4

We’re the explorers, the pioneers, the unafraid. We dare to achieve what others tell us we can’t & we don’t apologize for it. That’s what we celebrate today. Happy Columbus Day.
Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! 🌟 Today, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and traditions of America's Indigenous communities. It's a day dedicated to recognizing the enduring strength and resilience of the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today.
Happy Columbus Day! Today we celebrate America's European heritage, and the great country that would not have been without Columbus's voyage. Live long, America!
Happy Columbus Day everyone, one of my favorite holidays as a kid because we got to make Columbus’ ships in school and you knew the 2 big holidays were right around the corner, Thanksgiving and Christmas

Columbus Day is one of my favorite holidays!! Without Christopher Columbus sailing the ocean blue, the United States of America would not exist!

In case you missed it, there are two government holidays happening today. I’m curious about which one you’re celebrating. Indigenous People’s Day, Columbus Day, or is it just another bank holiday?
