For example, from a certain point of view, the benefits of Columbus might overshadow the negatives. However, that point of view constitutes a holiday that frequently ignores the negatives, devaluing Native American societies. Another dispute is that without abolishing Columbus Day completely, there is no way to utterly eliminate the Eurocentric ideal of his voyages that is celebrated annually. However, rather than wholly eliminate one side, the holiday should celebrate the connection of the Old and New Worlds. Preservation of the holiday allows for the appreciation of both European and Native American cultures before and after
