Its Columbus Day, which has always been a controversial holiday. Despite what many schoolchildren learned about when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, the historical record shows he committed acts of genocide, slavery and various other atrocities against Native Americans. Thats why some cities and states would rather you think of the Sioux, the Suquamish and the Chippewa. For the first time this year, Seattle and Minneapolis will recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day. What do you think? Should we stick with Columbus Day or should other cities in the nation follow Minneapolis and Seattle? wsbt/life/how-some-cities-are-reinventing-columbus-day/29079040
