Thoughts on Changing the Name Columbus Day:

The New Hampshire State House is thinking about changing the name 'Columbus Day' to 'Indigenous Peoples Day'. It has been a long debate for years about if Columbus should have a day named after him. I don't think that he should after how he killed, tricked, and stole from people. But, many people believe that he should have a day named after him because changing the holidays name would be like getting rid of some of our culture history.
