An alternate way of celebrating Columbus Day is that rather than celebrating the person or even the Native Americans, is to celebrate the beginning of an age of exploration for the Europeans and what astounding events occurred during that time. Although I do indeed believe that the conflict between Native Americans and Columbus and the later European explorers was and is still a tragedy, the focus of the day should instead be put on the discovery and exploration of the Americas which would later become the start of our nation.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus Day is we don't have to celebrate it in honor of Columbus but to celebrate it in honor of the Native Americans. Native Americans we really the people who found America before Columbus had ever arrived. Columbus treated the Natives with no respect. We should we celebrating this day as Indigenous People day.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus Day is to not celebrate Columbus but to remember all the Native Americans that were killed from slavery and disease. Columbus invaded their land and forced them to work for him against their will. Columbus isn't someone who should be seen as a hero but as a villain.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is to specifically celebrate the Native Americans. I do not think Columbus should have his own holiday because of how he treated many Native Americans. Native Americans are the ones who controlled that area before Columbus and his crew arrived so we should therefor celebrate them instead. Columbus did not discover that land. we should not contribute to celebrating Columbus day, but instead celebrate Indigenous day.

I think that a alternative way to celebrate Columbus day, is to celebrate all the people that died and that were tortured during this time. Also known as, Native Americans day. This could make people aware that he lied about many things and that he is overall not a very good person. I believe that he does not deserve a holiday to himself and that we should not honor that.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is to celebrate Indigenous Day instead. I think this because it would be celebrating the people who were already in North America and focus on all the people who survived and died during that rough time. Columbus should not be getting a holiday for himself with all the horrible things that he did and we should celebrate the good people.

I believe that as an alternative for celebrating Columbus day we could celebrate it as Native Americans day. If we celebrated it as Native American day it would focus more on the people who were already in North America before Columbus "found" it and the people who survived from him being there. This could help bring awareness to the fact that Columbus lied about things that he did'nt actually do and we can celebrate this holiday for the right reasons.

I believe an alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is to celebrate Indigenous Day instead. This is a better way because it shows how the Natives stayed strong through all this misery and we should honor all the people who die. Columbus caused a lot of suffering and we should not be honoring that.

I think another way that we can celebrate this day is by noticing what Columbus did by having an Indigenous People Day. I believe this is a better way to celebrate Columbus day, because it would celebrate Native Americans. This day would unite us, and bring equality. Also, this alternate holiday wouldn't celebrate a cruel and greedy man, who committed many crimes.

I believe an alternative idea to celebrating Columbus Day is to have a large march of many indigenous people on main streets of towns, and cities. This celebration could both bring our country together as a whole and could possibly lead to racial equality no matter your race.  This alternate decision would be better because it is a day when everyone can connect with each other. It also doesn't celebrate a man who tortured, murdered, and raped natives who only wanted to help and be friendly. That is just my opinion on this topic.

I this a good alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is to celebrate all the races in the United States. This would help because right now because lots of people are being discriminated for the color of their skin or what religion they are apart of. this would be better because this is a bigger part of the United States than some bad sailor that found himself on a continent that people already lived on.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is to celebrate native american day. But also remember all the people who loss their lives due to Christopher Columbus but also celebrate people who are alive. I believe my idea because it is better than celebrating a day for celebrating for person who forced people into slavery, prosecution, and rape. Also, we are supporting a person who got arrested and brought back to Spain

Another way to celebrate Columbus day is stop thinking about all the bad stuff he has done and remember that he was the founder of america.  not all the other stuff he has done because we all have made mistakes but he was the founder of the country. So just remember Columbus as the good stuff he has done.

Another way to celebrate Columbus Day is to celebrate the natives who fought for their land and the people who survived. I believe that this a better way to celebrate because we should not be celebrating a man who killed and enslaved billions. This day is also known as Indigenous People Day.

I think that instead of celebrating Columbus Day we could celebrate Indigenous Day instead. Many people agree that Christopher Columbus was a bad man that did a lot of bad things. That is why I don't think he should have a day named after him. Instead call it Indigenous Day celebrating diversity and life.

Another way to celebrate it is by calling it indigenous peoples day and to celebrate the native Americans.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus day would be to remember all of the bad stuff that he did and reflect on it to learn from his mistakes.  We can all admit something bad that we do and everyone tries to fix their problem and tries to help other people fix their problem.

Instead of celebrating Columbus Day, I believe we should celebrate Indigenous People's Day. This could celebrate the natives who survived Columbus's rule. Or we could celebrate the guy who actually discovered America if we want the holiday to be patriotic. Either of these solutions would be better than celebrating someone who pretty much destroyed an entire nation.

An alternative way to celebrate Columbus day is too remember the person who actually found the Americas because most of us know Christopher Columbus as the man who first founded america but few people know that there was actually a person who traveled to the Americas about 500 years before Columbus did.

An alternative way we can celebrate this "holiday" is calling it indigenous peoples day. I believe my idea is better because this would resolve the problem of celebrating a man who committed many crimes and done a lot of bad things.

I believe that another way to celebrate Columbus Day is to recognize what he did, and instead celebrate the Native Americans who lived here first. I believe this is better because it's unjust to celebrate someone who used slavery to gain power. This does not go with the values that America has and therefor, we shouldn't celebrate them with a holiday.
