Columbus Day: Not Everyone Does It

In NYC, many people are celebrating in the streets as the Columbus Day Parade is about to launch.  This may seem like a time honored tradition, but did you know that it was declared a federal holiday less than 100 years ago in 1937?

Also, did you know that not all states in the US celebrate Columbus Day? 

Alaska, South Dakota and Hawaii don't observe Columbus Day at all.  Furthermore, many counties, cities and towns have renamed this day to honor another part of his-story, aptly named, "Indigenous People's Day" or "Native American Day."

Not everyone does it, but I challenge you today to honor the many generations of people who respected and honored this land long before Columbus sailed his ships.

You can watch the video below to reconsider, reflect and then repost.
