Activity
PRAXIS
Indigenous Peoples' Day
It serves as an alternative to Columbus Day, which also falls on October 9. Many argue that Christopher Columbus should not be credited with "discovering" the Americas, and thus, Indigenous Peoples' Day has gained favor as a more appropriate commemoration.
Columbus Day
Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the
Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States,
which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's
arrival in the Americas. Columbus went ashore at Guanahaní, an island in
the Bahamas, on October 12, 1492
