Honoring Indians would be giving them their own day, maybe one that corresponds with an ancient traditional Indian festival or another.
Renaming Columbus Day is an intentional insult.
On the other hand, I’m glad to see the City Council got the roads all fixed, crime is at zero, welfare has licked poverty, so the City Council didn’t have anything more important to do. That’s good to know.
Oh, and it being the St. Paul City Council, of course it not only has the legal authority to override an act of Congress to re-name a holiday, it also has the moral authority to disregard the racial and religious basis of the city’s own name.

Further proof that, in the name of the Establishment Clause, we need to rename the city “Reagan”.

If I was on the St Paul city council, just to watch the lefties blow a nut, I would introduce a bill (or whatever they call it) to rename Rev MLK day to Leif Erickson day. And for everyone who objects, I’d call them bigots and demand the city human rights czar investigate.

Better yet, ask them to change MLK day to Native American Day.
