Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day are both observed on the second Monday in October.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday in the US that commemorates Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas and has been celebrated since it was declared a national holiday in 1937. It is also viewed by some as a celebration of Italian-American heritage and contributions.
In contrast, Indigenous Peoples' Day is not a federal holiday in the US but has been formally recognized through a presidential proclamation.
It was first officially proclaimed by President Joe Biden in 2021, toward honoring Native American histories, cultures, and resilience.
