Rename Columbus Day as Tisquantum Day

Created by D.H. on January 22, 2013

Native Americans need a nationally established holiday of recognition. As a Native American,I'd like to change the name of Columbus Day to Tisquantum Day.

"Tisquantum (January 1, 1585 – November 30, 1622), also known as "Squanto", was a Patuxet. He was the Native American who assisted the Pilgrims after their first winter in the New World and was integral to their survival."
