The United States’ largest city to officially replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day marks its first official commemoration with a series of events, including a concert by rock band Redbone.

Council members voted 14-1 to replace the annual holiday with one that recognizes the Native peoples who occupied this land and resisted colonization.

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, read and share this powerful excerpt of the new book “ ‘All the Real Indians Died Off’: and 20 Other Myths About Native Americans.” In this portion of Chapter 3, authors Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker skillfully dismantle the lies and racist logic that turned a genocidal slaver named Christopher Columbus into an American hero.

The hashtag #RethinkColumbusDay is trending today as Americans celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and challenge Columbus’s genocidal legacy. Also, we’ve got two videos to help you combat Columbus Day in your own way.
