Vermont bill to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day advances


Vermont appears poised to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, as more cities, states and universities opt to stop honoring the famed explorer and recognize Native Americans instead. THE QUESTION OF COLUMBUS DAY: WAS IT WORTH IT? Vermont began recognizing Indigenous Peoples' Day in 2016. Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October. Dozens of cities have chosen to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day in recent years, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nashville, Tenn.; Tusla, Okla.; and Salt Lake City.
