Easthampton weighs whether to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day

Easthampton weighs whether to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day Updated Dec 15, 2020; Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president. Amherst, Northampton, Somerville, Cambridge and Brookline now celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day. In 1492 Christopher Columbus, with trio of ships, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, had sailed from Spain, landing in what is now called The Bahamas Oct. 12 of that year. A group called Italian Americans for Indigenous Peoples Day wrote a letter to Easthampton City Council that is part of the council’s packet for the Oct. 14 meeting, when the body scheduled a discussion on the matter for Dec. 16.
