前总统乔·拜登于2021年正式纪念原住民日。越来越多的州和城市也承认了这一天——从长期以纪念探险家克里斯托弗·哥伦布为中心的日子，转向聚焦于那些生活和文化被殖民主义永久改变的人们。以下是原住民日为何如此命名以及人们如何庆祝的概述。
Former President Joe Biden officially commemorated Indigenous Peoples Day in 2021. An increasing number of states and cities have also recognized it — pivoting from a day long rooted in the celebration of explorer Christopher Columbus to one focused on the people whose lives and culture were forever changed by colonialism. Here is a look at why it’s called Indigenous Peoples Day and how people celebrate.
原住民日以不同形式和各种名称被承认了数十年，旨在庆祝原住民的历史和文化，并承认他们仍在面临的挑战。
Indigenous Peoples Day has been recognized for decades in different forms and under a variety of names to celebrate Native Americans’ history and culture and to recognize the challenges they continue to face.
拜登曾在一份声明中表示，这一天旨在“纪念美国的第一批居民以及至今仍在繁荣发展的部落国家”。它通常在十月的第二个星期一举行，这一天与哥伦布日相同，哥伦布日是一项联邦假日，早在几十年前就设立，以纪念哥伦布于1492年目击后来被称为美洲的土地。
Biden had said in a statement that the day is meant to “honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today.”It is typically observed on the second Monday in October, the same day as Columbus Day, a federal holiday established decades ago to recognize Columbus’ sighting in 1492 of what came to be known as the Americas.
这一天常被用来抗议纪念克里斯托弗·哥伦布的纪念碑，倡导环境正义，要求归还原住民土地，并纪念失踪和被谋杀的原住民妇女。
The day is often marked by protests against memorials to Christopher Columbus, for environmental justice , for the return of Indigenous lands and in honor of missing and murdered Indigenous women .
前总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他不会效仿前任的做法，即在十月同时承认原住民日和哥伦布日。
President Donald Trump has said he will not follow his predecessor’s practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day in October.
尽管它不是联邦假日，但一些州以及华盛顿特区已设立纪念原住民的假日，其中一些恰好在十月的第二个星期一。原住民日通常与哥伦布日并列庆祝，或完全取代该联邦假日。许多城市和学区也纪念原住民日。
Although it is not a federal holiday, some states, as well as Washington, D.C., have holidays honoring Native Americans, some of which are on the second Monday in October. Indigenous Peoples Day is typically paired with Columbus Day or replaces the federal holiday altogether. A number of cities and school systems observe Indigenous Peoples Day as well.
