"But it is Columbus the discoverer and explorer whom we truly celebrate and honor, not Columbus the civil governor..."

– Warren H. Carroll, Ph.D. Honoring Christopher Columbus. Faith & Reason, Summer 1992.

Can't say in my neck of the woods we celebrate him or consider him an explorer since the place he "found" was already inhabited. It is basically like someone sailing from North America and saying they discovered London.
