Question

Why might native Americans living today be uncomfortable with Columbus Day as it has been celebrated through most of the 20th century?

Answer 1

Answer:

Columbus was a horrible man that killed, enslaved, tortured and raped Natice Americans when they did nothing to him besides welcomed him onto their land with open arms. He forced his believes onto Native Americans and brought deadly diseases that killed the majority of the Native population. A day that is "celebrated" because he "found" America (although he didn't) despite the awful things he did would be upsetting knowing that person is the reason millions had died.
