It seems to be actually happening, that the day is no longer referred to normally as "Columbus Day." The transition seems to be happening here in California with little argument.
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

Not going to the bank or the post office today.

Yesterday I heard an article (NPR) about the background of Columbus Day as a holiday in the early 1900s and the pushback that began in earnest in the 1960s.

Here's a story about the recent holiday designation (with a clever title "Goodbye, Columbus? Here's what Indigenous Peoples' Day means to Native Americans").

Anyone doing anything special for this national holiday?
