The deeds of a long-dead Italian explorer have been celebrated in the U.S. for over 80 years.  But in Montana, Senate Bill 146 aims to remove Columbus Day from the docket of state holidays and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  Seven other states — Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, South Dakota, Vermont and Oregon — have already replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, while Alabama and Oklahoma celebrate both holidays.   Montana Sen. Shane Morigeau wrote and sponsored the bill. This is not the first time he has brought this issue up in the legislature. Morigeau brought forth a similar bill in 2019, but it was killed in the Senate’s State Administration Committee. As of Monday, Feb. 15, SB 146 was in that very same committee.
