Some Indigenous Peoples Day Events Strike Conciliatory Tone Amid Trump's Focus on Columbus

  • On October 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump proclaimed October 13, 2025 as Columbus Day under constitutional authority.
  • By law, U.S. Congress requested the president proclaim the second Monday of October as Columbus Day, marking Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage and October 12, 1492 landfall.
  • The proclamation lauded Columbus as the original American hero while blaming `left-wing radicals` for toppling statues and vandalism in recent years.
  • Native American leaders said the proclamation was hurtful and drew criticism, while the Education Department redirected nearly $500 million toward tribal colleges, advocates say could increase support for TCUs.
  • Across states and cities, many observe the second Monday as Indigenous Peoples Day or pair it with Columbus Day, with supporters emphasizing inclusivity, healing and bringing people together.
