1
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:08,920
Columbus Day, Columbus Day, Amy, what are you doing?

2
00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:12,590
I'm reading a book about Christopher Columbus.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,300
Oh, is it for your history class?

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,180
Yes, Columbus Day is celebrated on the 12th of October, so our teacher told us to make a report about

5
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:24,440
the history of this holiday.

6
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:27,430
Oh, how interesting.

7
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:28,120
Tell me.

8
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:37,130
Well, it says here this holiday commemorates the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus on the

9
00:00:37,130 --> 00:00:39,980
12th of October 1942.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,800
In many Latin American countries, they have another name for it, DIA de la Raza.

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,370
Day of the race.

12
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:51,150
How did you know that?

13
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:56,530
I just remember that, I guess so what else did you learn about it?

14
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:04,330
Well, it is a special day for many countries in North, Central and South America, but for some people,

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,840
this day represents the invasion of their land by Europeans.

16
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:10,430
You're right.

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,280
So what are you going to be writing about exactly?

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,020
I don't know.

19
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:17,570
Could you help me out with a plan?

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:19,910
Sure.

21
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:23,830
So first you will write down what we've just discussed.

22
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:26,950
Yeah, and then one.

23
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:31,030
How did Christopher Columbus get to America?

24
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:38,300
Oh, I know that at that time, many people thought the world was flat, but Columbus didn't believe

25
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:38,600
that.

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,190
Yeah, many people thought that if a ship has sailed to the edge of the world, it would fall off and

27
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:46,030
get lost.

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,800
That's really funny.

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,770
People didn't have all this technology that we have now, so I can see why some thought that.

30
00:01:56,130 --> 00:01:57,420
How do we navigate?

31
00:01:59,230 --> 00:02:01,060
By studying the stars and the moon.

32
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:04,740
See, you know, everything.

33
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:09,830
Should I mention that some people want it to be changed to Indigenous Peoples Day?

34
00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:16,520
Columbus Day, Columbus Day.

35
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,970
Amy, what are you doing?

36
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,970
I am reading a book about Christopher Columbus.

37
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:26,280
Oh, is it for your history class?

38
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,150
Yes, Columbus Day is celebrated on October 12th, so our teacher told us to make a report about the

39
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:34,470
history of this holiday.

40
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,120
Oh, how interesting.

41
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:37,560
Tell me.

42
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:45,290
Well, it says here this holiday commemorates the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus on October

43
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:46,940
12th, 1942.

44
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:52,370
In many Latin American countries, they have another name for it, DIA de la Raza.

45
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,930
How did you know that?

46
00:02:58,570 --> 00:03:00,860
I just remembered that, I guess so.

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,860
What else did you learn about it?

48
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:10,120
Well, it is a special day for many countries in North, Central and South America, but for some people,

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,810
this day represents the invasion of their land by Europeans.

50
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:16,240
You are right.

51
00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:18,660
So what are you going to be writing about exactly?

52
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,330
I don't know, could you actually help me out with a plan?

53
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,900
Sure, so first of all, write down what we've just discussed.

54
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:31,720
Yep, and then what?

55
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:35,460
How did Christopher Columbus get to America?

56
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:42,890
Oh, I know that by ship at that time, many people thought that the world was flat, but Columbus didn't

57
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:43,580
believe that.

58
00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:49,840
Yeah, many people thought that if a ship has sailed to the edge of the world, it would fall off and

59
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,410
get lost.

60
00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:53,360
That's really funny.

61
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,840
People didn't have all this technology that we have now, so I can see why some thought that.

62
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:00,340
How did he navigate?

63
00:04:01,870 --> 00:04:03,970
By studying the stars and the moon.

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,240
See, you know, everything.

65
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:13,090
Should I mention that some people want it to be changed to Indigenous Peoples Day?
