Reactions to Columbus Day from Native American Day Participants
Despite the national holiday being changed to Columbus Day by President Trump, South Dakota still observes Native American Day, a declaration made by the governor's office over 30 years ago.
The change has been met with frustration from some Native Americans, who are celebrating their day with a parade. One organizer stated,
We're celebrating today regardless of what anybody is saying.
Some are even calling for President Trump to broker peace with Native Americans in the Midwest, similar to his efforts in the Middle East. President Trump has defended the change, saying
Very non-controversial, frankly, but some people would say it's controversial, and affirming
We're calling it Columbus Day. Yes.
