From Columbus to Indigenous

Columbus Day has been a national holiday since 1937. However, recent years have seen increasing changes within communities to move from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.  Why the movement for change? This presentation is an exploration of the origins of Columbus Day, the controversy surrounding the holiday, and the movement for change. Tomaquag Museum provides the facts, you decide what feels right for you.
