Indigenous People’s Day & Columbus Day
Today is observed as both Indigenous Peoples Day and Columbus Day, with the dual observances recognized nationwide as federal holidays on the second Monday in October.
Some states have different approaches to these holidays. For example, South Dakota officially marks Native Americans Day as a state holiday, while North Dakota recognizes Columbus Day as a federal holiday but does not observe Indigenous Peoples Day as a state holiday. Minnesota, on the other hand, has dropped Columbus Day from its list of state holidays but observes Indigenous Peoples Day in recognition only.
- Most federal offices, banks, and post offices are closed today.
