Who really discovered the American continents ?

And why do we still celebrate Columbus Day ?
While the Christopher Columbus story was entertaining for a long time, now that most educated people agree that the Native Americans were here centuries before the arrival of Europeans, isn't it time for the American people to demand the truth ?

I don't care who discovered it, beyond historical interest.

if the "native americans" came here from somewhere else doesnt that make them colonizers/immigrants just like the euro whites???

.....did the NAs ''discover'' it?? they were in the stone age still ....the Europeans DID discover it
...the NAs were there for a long time--so what?
..the NAs did not have the technology/education/etc to write the history books--they did not make the history.....plain and simple they were ''eradicated''...as terrible as that was, why do you think they deserve praise?
what '''truth''?? ...everyone knows the NAs were there!!!!!
