Columbus Dayについて
Columbus Day is a US federal holiday observed on the second Monday of October, commemorating the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. It has been observed in some form since the 18th century.
The holiday became a federal observance in 1937 after decades of advocacy by the Knights of Columbus and Italian-American communities who celebrated Columbus as a symbol of Italian heritage and Catholic faith. Columbus was Genoese (from present-day Italy).
In recent decades, the holiday has been renamed Indigenous Peoples' Day by many states and cities to honor Native American cultures and acknowledge the impact of European colonization on indigenous populations.
