The Columbus Day parade is contentious due to its association with the colonization and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by Christopher Columbus and subsequent European settlers. Critics argue that celebrating Columbus perpetuates historical narratives that overlook the violence and oppression faced by Indigenous communities. In contrast, supporters maintain that the day honors Italian-American heritage and contributions. This clash of perspectives has led to calls for the celebration to be reimagined or replaced with Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Why is celebrating Columbus Day with a parade so controversial?

Celebrating Columbus Day with a parade (or in any other way) can be controversial in any situation where someone feels resentful or simply concerned over the negative results of Columbus' discovery of the New World for Europe. The fact that Native cultures and traditions (among other things) suffered great loss, even extinction, in the centuries following Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic Ocean is sometimes valued so highly that contemporary celebrations of Columbus Day, with a parade or not, is viewed as inappropriate.
