#Trump Declares Columbus Day, Omits #IndigenousPeoples’ Day Recognition
By Native News Online Staff
October 09, 2025"The White House on Thursday released a presidential proclamation designating Monday, October 13, 2025, as #ColumbusDay. In the statement, President Donald J. Trump praised the 15th-century explorer as 'the original American hero' and 'a giant of Western civilization.'
"Starting in 2021, President Joe Biden had issued dual proclamations each October recognizing both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, reflecting a broader national shift toward acknowledging the history, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples.
"Many states and municipalities across the country have since replaced Columbus Day entirely with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, choosing to honor Native communities rather than European conquest.
"This year, however, only a Columbus Day proclamation was released — with no mention of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
"In the proclamation, Trump sharply criticized recent efforts to reassess Columbus’s legacy, calling them an attempt to 'erase our history' and 'slander our heroes.' He went on to declare that
'under my leadership, those days are finally over,' asserting that Columbus should be remembered as 'a true American hero' [sez cowardly President Bone Spurs] whose determination shaped the nation’s destiny."#CelebratingColonizers #CelebratingGenocide #USPol #TrumpSucks #IndigenousPeoplesDay #FuckColumbus #FuckColonizers #LandBack #CorporateColonialism #PresidentBoneSpurs

Today is the day that used to be known as columbus day, before those of us who actually care about other people decided that chris columbus was a dick and giving him a holiday was in bad taste. Now it’s Indigenous Peoples Day and I much prefer the sound of that.
Unfortunately, it’s not a holiday for me. I have to work. Worse, I have to work in the office. Worse than worse, I have a 9:00 meeting. I left home super early out of fear that traffic would make me late for the meeting. I completely forgot that most of Massachusetts is off work today and there was so little traffic that I was in the parking lot over an hour early.
Oops. At least I won’t be late for the 9:00am meeting, right?
Happy Indigenous Peoples day to all who celebrate. Also, chris columbus was a dick who “discovered America” through nothing more than incompetence. Let’s not give him any more holidays.
