The day will be observed Oct. 11, along with Columbus Day, which is established by Congress. While Native Americans have campaigned for years for local and national days in recognition of the country’s indigenous peoples, Biden’s announcement appeared to catch many by surprise.
In a separate proclamation on Columbus Day, Biden praised the role of Italian Americans in U.S. society, but also referenced the violence and harm Columbus and other explorers of the age brought about on the Americas. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden “felt strongly” about recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day. Asked if Biden might seek to end marking Columbus Day as a federal holiday, she replied, “I don’t have any predictions at this point.”
Biden’s acknowledgment of the suffering of Native Americans also marked a break from President Donald Trump’s ardent defense of “intrepid heroes” like Columbus in his 2020 proclamation of the holiday.
PaHouseDems There is no more vicious person in the world than American Democrat politicians.They allowed the Taliban to rule Afghanistan and thousands of innocent women and children were killed by the Taliban. Now the Biden government is ready to provide financial assistance to the Taliban.
As a member of a tribe-as kind and well-intentioned as this was meant-I saw Indigenous Day was being shared with Columbus Day. As much as I love Italians, just not C. Columbus, this would be like having Oj Simpson Day shared with Domestic Abuse Day. This makes no sense!
About time!
PaHouseDems An Afghan man singing and dancing in the street has been arrested by the Taliban, who have sentenced him to 5,000 lashes.
What day is that day on?
Great symbol. Now: LandBack.
Wow, this is the first thing Biden has done that I agree with. Glad to see this.
Pander pander pander... When your policies suck, there's nothing else u can do.
He probably caught himself by surprise
Agenda21
Should be Viking Day they discovered America
POTUS VP
So dumb...so we celebrate people that slaughtered, enslaved and conquered people and lands....but we also hate the other people that did the same just because they did it better?
Pandering will do nothing for Joe.
'The day will be observed Oct. 11, along with Columbus Day, which is established by Congress.' Why is that? Why share with a man who enslaved and ordered many indigenous people killed.
Meaningless gesture that does nothing for the indigenous population. It just makes people feel good.
A great president and, more importantly, a great person.
Awesome! Another day for dress up!
This is fine, really, everyone. Let it mean a lot to those it means a lot to, and let yourself let it be if your instinct is to be bothered.
Let’s go Brandon!!!!
Who was on what land first? I don’t know. My ancestors probably had to come and go.
PersephoneTulon Tactic.
Biden is losing bad in polls so he had to do something to look ok. Worst polls by a president ever in thier first year.
Most Hispanics love Columbus and all our Conquistadors. They brought the Good News of our Lord and their knowledge to the Americas. Only communists hate him.
So they still have to share the day with a man who would try to enslave, and eradicate their kind? A man who never set foot on any of the Americas.
Feliz Dia de Colon! Happy Columbus Day! Thank you Jesus, your Gospel was brought to the Americas!
He had to do something, his approval rating has tanked
POTUS we still need to remove ColumbusDay ! He did NOT find THIS land, we celebrate a man for getting lost. That’s stupid and very alpha male. And it’s on the same day as IndigenousPeoples day? Classy.
Makes sense. Even today, Europeans agree, and are saying they would rather celebrate holidays for themselves, not migrants, especially those that rape and steal, regardless of who their Sponsors are back home.
deray It's the least that should be done. LandBack IndigenousPeoplesDay
You mean Columbus day.
As a present let’s give them Florida and Texas
A todos les está dando poquito atole con el dedo, quiere ganar popularidad y entonces dar la estocada final. viejo COMUNISTA.
BluCollar_Guy Now focus on student loans Police reform Gas prices
Insignificant BS Indigenous people are losing their land and water to pipeline companies, why isn’t he fixing that issue?
'Let's go Brandon'
HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY, EVERYONE!

Libs are such humanitarians while they stuff their pocket$ from inside deals becoming millionaires on non-millionaire salaries. What real, bonafide stand-up people they are. They’ve revolutionized U.S. instead of serving We the People—we serve King Joe.
Do you really think, you can wash the blood off, of a race of people you have annihilated nearly wiping out their existence then exiling them to patches of land. If I was me screw the Holiday give me more 'Casinos', then I'd say thanks ' Skull and Bones'
Yay! Ice cream all around!
Smoke screen
Wow, politicians are quick to give themselves a day off. Respect I would done the same
Just teach the truth of Thanksgiving Day!
I pander therefore I am. I'm waiting for short, fat, bald, middle aged man day. Until such time, I claim a slot on the totem pole of grievances.
You should be helping Haitians like you helping Afghanistan's. That's ish you did makes me want to not vote for you no more, or sad I voted for you!
Oh, and by the way............MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Oh, must mean....Columbus Day? I know, that's what I celebrate, and I can and do, call it what it's ALWAYS, been......'Columbus Day'!!!! I literally HATE, political correctness!! I will NEVER call this holiday, by any other name!!! And none of you, can EVER make me!!
Everyone who knows Biden personally can attest to him being an Indian Giver.
Wonderful. A step in the right direction.
تستهل كل الاحترام مني .يا جوزيف على هذا القرار .اني عبدالله .
Fuck Columbus, fucking pos.
Joe's conscience seems pretty alert to correct generations of wrong in America right. Good way to go!.
POTUS is pulling every trick out the bag to save face after Afghanistan. But come elections...the WHOLE WORLD will remember!
Ronald Reagen signed Hispanic Heritage MONTH into law in 1988. George H.W. Bush declared Native American Heritage MONTH in 1990. Sleepy Joe combines the two and gives them a day?
What a hero. Not!
It should be a holiday
That should be done by legislation. Once again, he will do more harm than good - in disguise.
Way to toe the line with what should have always been recognized. Joe is soooooo radical and progressive...
Give them Mount Rushmore
Let's go Brandon!
More distraction. No such thing as an indigenous person to this continent, just some folks wandered over earlier. They got their asses handed to them, and its over. They lost, get over it already. Lets move on to prepping for the coming row with China.
Yawn
How do we celebrate it? Get drunk and buy a lottery ticket?
Recognizing Indigenous People for one day is the least we can do. We need to learn from our history, rather than denying it. We can’t do anything to change the past, but we sure can do something about the future.
Come on, gays! This is his 'statement', like a dead poultice!
Really nice gesture, but hardly makes up for anything they have endured and continue to endure. I'm really not impressed.
This
Because screw Italians, right?
Why do I not believe that this is not his idea at all. 🤔🤭😑
Can we ask them about a good time for themselves?
As he supports line 3, lip service, trinkets and whiskey.
Leadership
The best way for POTUS to honor indigenous persons is to end the US military occupation of Hawaii. Until America ends its coercive and amoral control over the Hawaiian islands, everything else America does will fail 🤙🏽
Biden has a lot more surprises. His compassion 4 US and its ethenticy, including Indigenous Peoples' Day a holiday celebrating Native American people. It commemorates their histories and cultures & is celebrated across the US on 2nd Monday in October. Thxs, Joe👍
529 years later: “Alright here’s one day back”
Happy human sacrificing, slavery, and cannibalism day! We should try to find Columbus’s remains and cook them like the Indians did who’s ancestors are from Asia and so happened to cooked 30 of Columbus’s men and ate them.
Plagiarising from Canada now too...
and yet continues to drill on indigenous land, on brand pale face behavior
Happy Columbus Day!
Panderer in Chief strikes again. Why are people demanding we replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day? Just make the Friday before Columbus Day Indigenous Peoples' Day, so that way we have both, rather than remove something we've had for decades.
Does that make up for Line 3?
OH President Biden😀🥰Thank you 😀What s wonderful man you are so caring and Giving❤️💋💋💋🌎😷👋Luv you❤️❤️
I’m here for it!
Wow
Denali? DAPL?
Happy Columbus day
Let’s go Brandon. Let’s celebrate Columbus Day.
Replace Columbus Day with this
Thanks Joe Budden
