Since 1937, the United States has celebrated Columbus Day as a federal holiday, honoring the Italian explorer long-honored as the man who discovered America. Fargo is looking to revise the October holiday. Media outlets reported the Fargo Native American Commission is seeking to pass a resolution changing the name from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Historians have tied Columbus to atrocities, including slavery. The commission and a temporary committee will work together to create such a resolution to be judged by the Fargo City Commission. Indigenous Peoples' Day is meant to celebrate the Native American culture of Fargo and North Dakota.
