Please help a sister out!!!!!!!!!

Here is your question: Should we continue to honor Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day or Should we honor Native Americans on a "Native American" day?

IMO i dont think you should... Columbus day is typically noted for how Chris supposedly found America(which is false).

We should honor Native Americans. Christopher Columbus was nothing but a greedy thief who stole from the indigenous people. He didn’t even land in America, he landed in the central Bahamas to begin with. He also forced children to work to find ‘wealth’, what he specifically asked for like gold, spices, and furs. When the couldn’t find any he would chop off their hands and send them back looking. The Native Americans were continuously forced off their soil, beaten, and stolen from. They were the victims and Christopher Columbus was nothing but a coward with money from the monarchs in Spain.
