Reactions to Columbus Day from Native American Day Participants
In South Dakota, it is still Native American Day, a declaration made by the governor's office over 30 years ago.
The recent change of the national holiday by President Trump has been met with frustration. While President Trump is working towards peace in the Middle East, some Native Americans attending the Native American Day Parade wonder if he could also work towards peace with Native Americans in the Midwest.
"We're celebrating today regardless of what anybody is saying,"
said one organizer. Organizers and attendees of Native American Day celebrations are reacting to the overturning of Native American Day nationwide and the reinstatement of Columbus Day.
"Very non-controversial, frankly, but some people would say it's controversial,"
said President Trump.
"We're calling it Columbus Day. Yes."
