How about “Native Amercian Day”?

or

“Amerkin Injun Day”?

While I wholeheartedly agree with every point he was making in that video and would sign a petition right now to rescind Columbus Day as a national holiday, I feel that the name “Indigenous People Day” would not quite work out for 3 reasons:

1. The majority of Americans can’t pronounce “indigenous”

2. The majority of Americans can’t spell “indigenous”

3. The majority of Americans probably don’t even know what the hell “indigenous” means

Let’s keep it dumbed down a little. It’s been working so well for all of the years. Too much change at once CAN’T be a good thing.
