Indigenous People's Day

My calendar’s old-fashioned So for Monday, what’s in store Is Columbus Day, a holiday Observed each year before. At one time it was October 12th But somehow it got changed To create a 3-day weekend, Which the government arranged. To many, though, Columbus Wasn’t all that nice a guy And his reputation’s one that some Don’t want to glorify. So instead of Chris Columbus, What new calendars will say On October’s 2nd Monday is Indigenous People’s Day. Celebrating Native peoples Here before C.C. set sail, It’s a day, despite its syllables, That somehow will prevail.
