Hi @seandtaber!

Thanks for the update! 👍🏻

To me the situation seems to depend on the respective state. According to here, there are several states which have either abandoned Columbus Day and/or added Indigenous Peoples Day or a similar one.

The 'correct' procedure would be

1. to replace line 19 by a function which returns Columbus Day annotated with the celebrating states for the respective years (starting from 2011)
2. to add another function which does the similar for Indigenous People Day
3. and of course adapt the snapshot tests

As a first measure, one could implement the proposed function such that it simply ends Columbus Day in 2022, e.g.

def holiday_columbus_day(self):
    """2. monday in October: [NV] Columbus Day"""
    return [Holiday(
        self.locale,
        "",
        SmartDayArrow(self.year, 10, 1).shift_to_weekday("monday", order=2),
        "Columbus Day",
        "NV"
    )] if self.year < 2022 else []
