I suppose you mean Indians.

I guess they were part of the discovery.

Columbus was a bad person. He killed for the fun of it and enslaved the rest.

I have yet to understand why the U.S. celebrate Columbus day, I mean, he landed in latin America. I really can't see why Columbus was so important, but if I get a day off for it, I can't whine.

What about Amerigo Vespucci day? At least he is what our country is named after...

Ahh, I was thinking that too, but then again, being named after almost everything in the western hemisphere is kinda enough.

Hee hee. Columbus thought the island he landed on was India.

Yeah I've heard he was not very nice (as in killed) to the Indians, but he was the first European to set foot on that land. I guess, in that way, he's important.

Anyway, screw what he did! I get a day off!

Technically the Vikings got there before Columbus.
But they never told anyone and so Columbus was the one who actually lead Europe into the Americas.
