Tomorrow is traditional Colombus Day, Oct 12. Do the Italian communities of New York City and San Francisco still have parades? Maybe there should be a Viking Day since they pre-dated Chris by a few hundred years.

Tomorrow is traditional Colombus Day, Oct 12. Do the Italian communities of New York City and San Francisco still have parades? Maybe there should be a Viking Day since they pre-dated Chris by a few hundred years. Columbus first arrived on San Salvador in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. Viking is an interesting word, because it basically means a Norse pirate. Some Vikings came to the New World. However, it is probable that they only got to Baffin Island (the Vikings believed that Baffin Island and Greenland were the same island, because of all of the ice) and Newfoundland. By 1492, the Vatican noted that no news of that country "at the end of the world" (Greenland) had been received for 80 years. The last dated writing in Greenland prior to the collapse of Greenland was dated to 1408. The last Native American artifacts that were transported back to Scandinavia in 1420. This coincides with a general cooling in Northern Hemisphere temperatures, as the Northern Hemisphere slipped into the Little Ice Age after the 1257 Samalas eruption. Also, unlike the Spanish settlements further South, the Inuits were able to out-compete the Norse and had taken over all of Greenland after the Vikings retreated back to Iceland. The Vikings did pre-date Columbus, but they left North America and even Greenland by 1420 only returning to the New World more than a century after Columbus died. |

In Oregon, Washington, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, California, Hawaii, Maine, South Dakota, North Dakota, West Virginia, etc, etc, etc. Of your list, you are correct as to Oregon and Nevada. South Dakota celebrates Native American Day. Arizona and Maine celebrate it as both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day. Hawai'i celebrates Discovery Day. West Virginia celebrates Columbus Day. Some portions of California, Florida, North Dakota, Texas and Washington celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day but other parts celebrate Columbus Day. So, maybe in Nevada and Oregon? |
