If we judge Christopher Columbus on the standards of his day, he should probably remain characterized as a prisoner for barbaric acts of torture on the natives of Hispaniola. But I am with Allen, we absolutely should not start an Indigenous Peoples Day. We should rather create a pantheon for all of the people similar to Christopher Columbus on a single day, similar to what we do with Presidents Day ... but for bad guys." All on the same day, we could honor Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin Gingus Khan, ... Columbus. Maybe, we could call it Evil-Doers Day. But even as an evil-doer, Columbus shouldn't be given the full spot light. I have some Italian blood and like to think of Columbus as a bad mutation that should be recognized if/when a similar mutation enters our society. I think that an annual Holiday for individuals like Christopher Columbus would be just the type of recognition to keep our minds in tune.
