. In 1892, President William Henry Harrison designated Columbus Day a holiday in response to the lynching of 11 Italian Americans the year before. It became a federal holiday in 1971.
In 1977, indigenous groups called for recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day at a United Nations conference, and in 1990, North Dakota became the first state to celebrate it. Indigenous Peoples' Day is not yet a federal holiday, though over 130 cities and a dozen states recognize it in place of Columbus Day.
