History
In 1992, the Columbian Quincentenary drew a great deal of criticism from Native American and other activists, fostering an awareness of the negative effects of European colonization upon the indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere. Celebration of Columbus Day has been seen by many as a perpetuation of the ideologies of colonialism. Over the course of subsequent decades, several US states have redesignated October 12 as Indigenous People's Day. Although there were protests as early as 1992,the city of Santa Fe did not adopt the change until 2016.
