Were there any real justice, they would change Columbus day into some sort of national Native American holiday. And it would still be a federal holiday, so we would still get the day off.

You will find no Columbus Day in South Dakota. The governor renamed it "Native American Day". I actually do have a reason to be proud of my state...

Yes, they deserve one. And they do have a holiday. It's Native American Day. It's celebrated on the fourth Friday of September. 2D

Yes I think so.
I also think we should do away with calling them American Indians and stick to Native Americans.
