What are your feelings/ thoughts/opinions about your group proposal/stance and feelings of Columbus Day?

 My group and I agreed that instead of having a Columbus Day, it should be a Native Americans Day. Christopher Columbus was claimed to be much like a sinner. He was the reason millions of people lost their lives and everything he did, I wonder was it for him or for everyone else. On the the other hand, the Native Americans were more of kind hearted people and they were hard workers. The celebration really should be for them, they deserve it for the things that they had accomplished as well. Although from my opinion Columbus did something extravagant, he basically explored the world, which is a dangerous duty because he didn't know what to expect such as environment changes. I believe that he brought the attention to the new world which is why we are here today but he still committed brutal things, if these statements are really accurate but i wonder is there any proof. This is basically why I agree to the desicion my group and I made. It is always two sides of the story so I don't really know how everything went, I'am basing my opinion on the things that I have learned about Columbus and the Native Americans. Simultaneously, those  negative thoughts about Christopher Columbus can definitely be rumors. Another thing was that people have been celebrating Columbus Day for years so they mind as well keep it the way that it is, unless people agreed over the situation for a while, meaning for years and besides our opinion do not count because this is like a tradition and what more can we really do!
