The United States of America is celebrating Columbus Day on Monday, October 11. The day is marked to commemorate the day when Christopher Columbus first set his foot on the American soil in 1492. However, several Americans celebrate October 11 as the Indigenous People's Day to celebrate the Native American people, their histories and cultures. The Twitterati remain divided on whether the day is observed to mark Columbus' arrival or the Native American culture.
Here Is How Twitter Reacted To The Columbus Day Vs Indigenous People's Day Debate:
