Honestly, given that Erickson A)has a day so close to Columbus Day anyway, B) has proven to be less of a genocidal shit than Columbus, C) at least landed on the North American continent, and D) At least seemed aware that he had discovered a land completely unknown to his civilization (which Columbus wasn't; he insisted to his dying day that he set foot in India), why not replace Columbus Day with Leif Erickson Day?
