How many cities have renamed Columbus Day / adopted Indigenous Peoples' Day?

Last updated August 18, 2023
• Approximate cities: 195
• Approximate schools: 51
• Approximate counties: 13
• Approximate states not observing Columbus Day: 29 + Wash D.C.
Indigenous Peoples' Day was first proposed in 1977 by a delegation of Indigenous Nations to the United Nations-sponsored International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas. Thirty-five years later, only two U.S. cities had taken action on renaming Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day. However, in just the 11 years since then, over 200 cities, counties, school districts, universities, and even some entire states have joined them.

States that have stopped observing Columbus Day:

To "observe" a holiday means to take it off from work/school. When Columbus Day was first observed by the Federal government, it was already a holiday in 40 states. However, with the truth about Columbus now well known, only about half that number of states are still observing it:
  1. AlaskaDoesn't observe CD
  2. ArkansasDoesn't observe CD
  3. CaliforniaDoesn't observe CD
  4. ColoradoDoesn't observe CD
  5. DelawareDoesn't observe CD
  6. FloridaDoesn't observe CD

  30. +Washington D.C.Observes Indigenous Peoples' Day

States that have recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day or similar:

*There's a lot of variation in what states have done. Ideally, the second Monday in October should be renamed to Indigenous Peoples' Day with a Resolution, Bill, or recurring Proclamation, not a single-date Proclamation.
**The list below does not include states that have established a day of Indigenous recognition on a day other than the second Monday of October. At the very least, the date has to be correct in order to be considered similar to Indigenous Peoples' Day.

How about your city, county, or school?

Are you ready to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day in your city, county, or school? You can do it. And please share www.RenameColumbusDay.org with friends who you think might be willing to take action (even if that's just sending an email to raise awareness).

Additions or corrections?

There are likely cities, counties, and schools that have adopted Indigenous Peoples' Day that we're not aware of. If you know of any additions or corrections to the list above, please email us.

A "Resolution" (or ordinance/code/bill) typically indicates permanent policy change, whereas a "Proclamation" is a ceremonial document issued yearly. Therefore, getting a Resolution passed in your city/school is the priority (whether proclamations are issued yearly or not).

A few other things to keep in mind:

1. Because the actual date of the holiday changes yearly, your city's Resolution should include language specifying that "Indigenous Peoples' Day shall be the second Monday in October of every year" or "[Our city] shall recognize every second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples' Day" or similar. The Resolution should not specify an exact date in October.

2. Any Resolution should also specify that such recognition is "instead of" or "as a replacement for" any official recognition of Columbus Day by your city. Without that or similar language, the question may later arise as to whether Columbus Day remains on city calendars/communications. Given what Christopher Columbus is now known to represent, the removal of Columbus Day is just as important as the adoption of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Listen to: Reno | Austin

3. It's up to your city as to whether or not your Resolution makes other mentions of Christopher Columbus and/or Columbus Day. Some cities choose to sanitize their document of "negativity" for the sake of not offending any members of the current generation who still associate the day with Italian heritage. Other cities put more weight on the importance of explaining the reason for this change, especially for the sake of future generations. Listen to: Dallas 1 | Dallas 2
Geneva, Switzerland, September, 1977: Indigenous American delegates entering the United Nations-sponsored Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas. The conference's Final Resolution called for the day of the so-called "discovery" of America to be observed as an International Day of Solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.

Some people will suggest renaming Columbus Day to "Native American day" which initially sounds good because we're still accustomed to that term.

However, don't do it:

1. The name "Indigenous Peoples' Day" aligns with:
  1. A 1977 proposal by a delegation of Indigenous Nations to the United Nations-sponsored International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas.
  2. Resolution #11-57 of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, representing 59 Tribes, to "Support to Change Columbus Day (2nd Monday of October) to Indigenous Peoples' Day."
2. "Indigenous Peoples' Day" also aligns with what 200+ other cities/counties/states/schools have already done. Remaining consistent will make for a more efficient transition when this rename goes to the federal level.

3. Indigenous people lived on this continent long before it was called "America" by Europeans, so there's inherent conflict in the term "Native American".

4. The word "native" is often used to mean simply "born in a place" (e.g. everyone born in Colorado can say they're a Colorado native). There's no such confusion with the word Indigenous.

*In the early days of renaming Columbus Day, some cities adopted names that honored their region's Indigenous tribe. However, for reasons #1 and 2 above, that is no longer recommended.
Establishing an "Italian Heritage Day" on the second Monday of October would be like establishing a German Heritage Day on the day Hitler invaded Poland or started exterminating Jews.

Fixing a mistake with another mistake is not a solution. And it would remain offensive to many on both sides.

While establishing an Italian Heritage Day is a great idea, it must not be on the second Monday of October. That day is Indigenous People's day.

Also, deviating at all from a straight rename would conflict with the 1977 UN Proposal and set a flawed example for other cities.
While any decision about an Italian Heritage Day should be made by Italian Americans, there are definitely many Italians more worthy of celebration than Columbus. Here are a few names you may recognize:

1) Galileo Galilei: Risked a prison sentence in order to give the world the scientific truth that the Earth revolves around the sun. Note that Galileo's birthday is February 15, the day after Valentine's Day. And Saint Valentine was from Rome, the capital of Italy. How about an Italian heritage week? Isn't Italian culture more appropriately associated with love and knowledge, than greed and genocide?

2) Amerigo Vespucci: Our entire country and continent are actually already named after this Italian (some would consider that an honor already). Amerigo was the first European to understand (unlike Columbus) that North and South America were actual continents, and not part of Asia/India.

What? Galileo and Vespucci weren't Americans? Neither was Columbus. Columbus was a pillager of America.

3) Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci: Italian immigrant (lived in New York) now recognized as the true inventor of the telephone. It wasn't Alexander Graham Bell (nor Steve Jobs, as some today believe).

4) Again, we do already have Valentine's Day on February 14, and Saint Valentine was Italian. And again, Galileo Galilei (the Italian father of modern science who risked a prison sentence to give the world scientific truth) has a birthday on February 15th. Please see #1 above.
 
"Indigenous People should get their own day"

That's getting it backwards. Given what we now know, Columbus's 1492 landing in the Bahamas has almost nothing to do with Italian-American history. And saying that "Indigenous People deserve to have their own day" is manipulative.

Given what we now know, Columbus's 1492 landing instead has everything to do with Native American history. It was an event that has rippled through Native American lives in devastating ways for centuries.

In short, the second Monday in October has always been Indigenous Peoples' Day. Those who have suffered genocide, mass exploitation, mass rape, and oppression for centuries since Columbus's landing are the ones for whom this day has true significance.

We all understand that Italian Americans suffered discrimination during a brief period of American history, and that celebrating Columbus Day temporarily provided benefit in reducing that discrimination, which is great. But discrimination against Italians is no longer a significant issue in America, and any additional benefit from Columbus Day, along with Columbus's myth, is now gone. So it's time to give the day back to those to whom it belongs. Doing so can be an honor.
The group "Italian Americans for Indigenous Peoples Day" (website at ItaliansForIPD.org) is just one example of an increasing sentiment among the Italian American community.

From their Statements:
"Some Italian Americans assert that Columbus Day is at its core a celebration of our heritage... We believe that any association with Christopher Columbus diminishes our culture and does not honor the struggles of our ancestors, who were victimized for their ethnicity... [A] holiday that celebrates the resilience of Indigenous peoples is far more truthful and uplifting than one that honors a man whose legacy is characterized by conquest, slavery, and genocide. By championing Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the diverse histories and cultures of this land's First Peoples and their many contributions... We also honor our own ancestors who persevered in this country while enduring discrimination and violence, and we follow the example of the many Italian Americans who fought and continue to fight for civil and human rights for all."

So when an Italian American speaks against Indigenous Peoples Day, or in favor of clinging to Christopher Columbus's myth, please remember that they are not speaking for all Italian Americans. Yes, Columbus Day did serve a valuable purpose for past generations of Italian Americans. But with what's now known about that day, it's not going to do anything for future generations. The day of Columbus's landing is now known to have always belonged to Native Americans. And giving it back to them can be an honor.

[Spokane]  Columbus's legacy still ripples across our lives in devastating ways. [Spokane]  We Mayans never believed the world was flat. Columbus committed genocide. Choose your own day.

They didn't matter. I would tell friends of visits. [Spokane]  I don't have the solution. This is for people who struggled hundreds of years. [Spokane]  Councilwoman talks about renaming Canada Island. Canada was honored. [Spokane]  I'm confident my Italian grandfather would be proud. [Spokane]  Mayor: We're not erasing Columbus, we're just not honoring him. [Tacoma]  We do this so our children can understand who they are. [Tacoma]  We are recognizing the things Indigenous People have gone through. [Tacoma]  I was told to go back to res. [Tacoma]  Councilman: grandson of first generation Italian American [Tacoma]  Councilwoman: Recognition, Respect, Reconciliation [Tacoma]  Mayor thanks school for their petition.
