    If Columbo day is the same day as Canadian Thanksgiving, what are the Americans celebrating on US Thanksgiving?

      Columo never discovered what is nowadays the USA, he discovered Santo Domingo - Dominican Republic. They have a Colombo Statue with all the reasons.

      The first people in the Amerikas are Mongols over the Bering Strait and people from Indonesia, later Wikingos, maybe also Chinese people, all long time before Colombo.

      Some pilgrims at some point shared a meal with Native Americans to my understanding (I’m not from there).
