How might the honoring and celebration of Indigenous People's Day be a positive step toward decolonizing history and our communities?

Answer:

Why replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day? Activists have long argued that holidays, statues, and other memorials to Columbus sanitize his actions—which include the enslavement of Native Americans—while giving him credit for “discovering” a place where people already lived.

Hope this helps :)
