Thank you for this. I first heard of Indigenous Peoples' Day about 8-10 years ago and have been honoring it since then. I actually cross out "Columbus Day" on my calendars & write in "Indigenous Peoples' Day"; hopefully soon, calendar makers will start including it on their own especially know that President Biden has become the first President to officially commemorate this day as "Indigenous Peoples' Day"
Now that I think about it more, it was probably longer than 10 years ago. I do know that the discussion of replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day began to take place in earnest back in 1990
While researching answers to the questions you posted, I found the following interactive tool that will show you which tribe originally inhabited the land you are standing on: https://native-land.ca/
Pet this map, the Cowlitz Tribe originally inhabited the land on which I live.
