Officially now Indigenous Peoples Day * in the United States of America, not everyone is going to forget this was the day that Christopher Columbus was celebrated as the discoverer of America. These days there's an awareness of possibilities that the land mass across the Atlantic was discovered or visited by other seafaring people as well. This morning as I did an internet search there were many posts such as "is the post office open on Columbus Day" as evidence of this.
If you use the search feature on this blog, or click on the tag below "Christopher Columbus" you will find other posts including a review of a documentary film I saw that was very convincing. A film by the History Channel called WHO REALLY DISCOVERED AMERICA is quite interesting.
