Indigenous People’s Day and Columbus Day
Today is observed as both Indigenous Peoples Day and Columbus Day, with the dual observances recognized nationwide as federal holidays on the second Monday in October.
Some states have different approaches to these holidays:
- South Dakota officially marks Native Americans Day as a state holiday.
- North Dakota recognizes Columbus Day as a federal holiday, but does not observe Indigenous Peoples Day at the state level.
- Minnesota no longer includes Columbus Day in its list of state holidays but acknowledges Indigenous Peoples Day.
Most federal offices, banks, and post offices are closed, while state and local offices maintain their regular schedules.
