Maine has replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, joining an increasing number of states and localities that have made the change.

“There is power in a name and in who we choose to honor,” Gov. Janet T. Mills of Maine said in a statement about the bill, which she signed into law on Friday.

At least six states and 130 cities and towns have now renamed the holiday. Columbus Day, the second Monday of October, has been a federal holiday since 1934.

New Mexico’s governor signed a similar bill this month, and Vermont’s legislature also passed a law, which is now awaiting the governor’s signature. North Carolina joined Alaska, South Dakota, Oregon and Minnesota — the first states to make the shift — in reorienting the holiday last year.
