that two particular days, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving, shoiuld have added to them some way of commemorating the indigenous peoples that suffered due to European conquest.
Honoring them.
They really should be included in these commemorations, since they were heavily involved.

Xeno-x, It has been the experience the world over that people murder
