Also note that a thin earnings calendar typically accompanies the Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday. 

As a reminder, Columbus Day marks the voyage and landing of Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who "discovered" America and the "New World."

Indigenous Peoples' Day, celebrated since the 1980s in tandem with Columbus Day, acknowledges Native American cultures and people who inhabited the Americas prior to European exploration.
