For Indigenous Peoples' Day: Leo Rojas - El Condor Pasa

I posted this in the Lounge a couple of months ago, so I'm just going to link to that - https://democraticunderground.com/10181693499 - for info on the artist and song that I hope you'll read. One update: The video, which had nearly 337 million views in August, is now at over 344 million.

Am I right to understand that this is what Columbus Day is now? If so.. I can celebrate that, for sure. Guess I never paid attention as I don’t personally recognize Columbus Day

I've never been sure whether it should be spelled as Peoples', Peoples or People's, but I've used the most common spelling I saw checking Google. That Wikipedia article uses all three spellings by the end of the first paragraph.
