What Columbus/Native American Day means to me? Well, it could mean a lot of things. But I’m not really sure on what it means in general, let alone my own opinion. I have heard so many different stories and versions of “What really happened” True or false, but personally to me it’s most likely a day to try and figure out what happened and my opinions on it I guess.
For starters, most people know it as Columbus Day, not usually Native American Day. If a person knew what exactly they wanted to call this one day, I’d most likely understand just a bit more to it. Second, can someone know what something means to them if they’ve never been taught the real meaning? I mean say someone wasn’t taught about Thanksgiving for example. Would they know what to be thankful for? They wouldn’t understand what we were celebrating. Third, would it be right to just say the same thing the last person said, hoping you’ll understand what they meant? It’s like a mystery book that never gets solved. It searches and searches but in the end it’s left unfinished. You need to understand the point you coming from so you can solve you mystery. If you don’t know what point you started, It won’t make any sense.
So Columbus/Native American Day means to me, that in all honesty I should read, and do a bit of research to learn more about it.
