Use the excerpt from the story titled Rethinking a Holiday to answer the question.

Rethinking a Holiday

The idea of celebrating an event that introduced so much destruction has led to a rethinking of the October holiday in the United States. A few states and a growing number of cities have decided not to observe it. They have chosen to keep the focus on native people. They celebrate Native American Day, American Indian Day, or Indigenous Peoples Day. Some of these remembrance days have replaced Columbus Day on the second Monday in October. Others are observed on the fourth Friday in September.
