the date columbus arrived in the americas is celebrated in some countries of latin america. the most common name for the celebration in spanish (including some latin american communities in the united states) is the "día de la raza" ("day of the race" or the "day of the [hispanic] people"), commemorating the first encounters of europeans and the native americans. the day was first celebrated in argentina in 1917, in venezuela and colombia in 1921, in chile in 1922 and in mexico it was first celebrated in 1928. the day was also celebrated under this title in spain until 1957, when it was changed to the "día de la hispanidad" ("hispanicity day"), and in venezuela it was celebrated under this title until 2002, when it was changed to the "día de la resistencia indígena" (day of indigenous resistance). originally conceived of as a celebration of hispanic influence in the americas, as evidenced by the complementary celebrations in spain and latin america, día de la raza has come to be seen by nationalist activists throughout latin america as a counter to columbus day; a celebration of the native races and cultures and their resistance to the arrival of europeans in the americas.
