Indigenous Peoples Day was first adopted in 1992 by Berkeley, California in place of Columbus Day in order to bring awareness to the injustices that took place against Native Americans as a result of Columbus’s “discovering America.” This year, Washington, D.C. joins the eight states and 130 cities that have legally changed from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
