As a young Native American, I think that we should change the name of the holiday. We all know the he didn't discover America because my people were already here when he came. He only got us sick and tried to wipe out our population. He doesn't deserve a day where we remember him. He was a cold-blooded killer. Why don't we use that day to remember all the Native Americans that he killed.
