As Raquel Cardona pointed out to me, not all states celebrate Columbus Day.
The coming of Columbus, and the rest of white Europeans after him, represented oppression and genocide for the Native American People. That's why some people are against the celebration.

We can celebrate it too by reading about Native Americans and listening to a Native American song, Cherokee Morning Song:
