I almost forgot it was columbus day...
Jean Chadwick, a Cherokee Indian from Hiram, Maine, was delighted to hear Middleton expects about a dozen other students to join him in calling for an end to Columbus Day."That’s wonderful news," Chadwick said.
The Cherokee woman belongs to a group called United Native America. They want to replace Columbus Day with Native American Day.
"To Native Americans, Columbus is seen as the great genocider," Chadwick said. "It would be almost the same for us to have a Hitler Day if you were Jewish."
