People celebrate Eriksson day rather than Columbus day because the Vikings discovered America before Columbus did, so they want to give the Vikings credit.
Leif Ericson was a Norse viking explorer who was the first European to land in America around the year 1000, nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus (he arrived to the New World in 1492).
Many Americans celebrate Erickson Day instead of Columbus Day to honor Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer believed to be the first European to reach North America around 1000 AD. This shift reflects a growing recognition of the contributions of Indigenous peoples and a desire to acknowledge the complex history of exploration and colonization. Celebrating Erikson highlights a more inclusive narrative, moving away from Columbus, whose legacy is often associated with the negative impacts of European colonization on Native populations.
Turkish children do not celebrate Halloween. However, Americans in Turkey have certainly introduced some of the customs there, so the holiday tends to be celebrated by ex-pat Americans, rather than the locals.
Columbus is a phony because he got credit for what Amerigo Vespucci discovered. Christopher actually only found the Bahamas. Amerigo Vespucci really discovered America. I don't know why we celebrate ''Columbus Day'' he didn't even find anything! I personally don't celebrate the holiday. I'd rather celebrate ''Amerigo Day'' than ''Columbus Day'' any day!

There are some differences, but most Australians do observe Christmas in much the same way as North Americans do. One major difference is that in the Southern hemisphere Christmas occurs in summer rather than in winter.
The first Native Americans that Columbus encountered referred to themselves as the Taíno. They were part of a larger group of Arawakan-speaking peoples in the Caribbean. The Taíno had a rich culture and social structure, and they identified themselves by their specific communities or tribes rather than a collective name for all indigenous peoples. Columbus mistakenly referred to them as "Indians" due to his belief that he had reached the outskirts of India.
Texas does not officially celebrate Columbus Day as a state holiday due to a growing recognition of the negative impact of European colonization on Indigenous peoples. In 2021, Texas passed legislation designating the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day instead. This change reflects a broader movement to honor Native American history and culture while acknowledging the complexities of historical narratives surrounding figures like Christopher Columbus. As a result, many Texans now observe Indigenous Peoples' Day rather than Columbus Day.
Since he landed in the Bahamas he saw a tropical island with Native Americans living on it. They were rather poor and didn't have the gold he was looking for. They gave him small items they had made and parrots.
nothing rather then sit
Suggestion. However, I would compare revelry to celebration, rather than celebrate.
