The Columbus Statue outside Union Station in Washington. By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow April 20 at 12:16 PM For three years, the state of Vermont has been celebrating the second Monday of October, traditionally and federally labeled as Columbus Day, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Last week, the Vermont legislature passed a bill that “will aid in the cultural development of Vermont’s recognized tribes, while enabling all indigenous peoples in Vermont and elsewhere to move forward and formulate positive outcomes, from the history of colonization.” Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937, a day meant to honor the Italian explorer who “discovered” the Americas on Oct. 12, 1492, and to garner the support of voters with Italian heritage. The holiday was moved from Oct. 12 to the second Monday in October in 1971, to avoid the floating day of the week in which federal offices would have to close.
