Explain why some people would support Columbus Day while others would support Indigenous Peoples Day
Columbus Day Supporters: believe that without Columbus's "discovery" of the New World the world we have would look very different, strong cultural ties to Columbus (Italian heritage/pride for example), people might also be unwilling to change
