Change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day

Created by D.H. on September 21, 2016

Dear President Obama,

Hailing Christopher Columbus as the "discoverer of America" is inaccurate and ignores the history of indigenous people. Please issue an executive order changing the current federal holiday, Columbus Day, to Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Thank you.
