"Some" vs. "any" in questions: Examples and explanation. In affirmative questions: Would you like some tea? (Expects agreement: "Yes, thank you.") Would you like any tea or coffee while you wait? (Open-ended: "Just some water, thanks.") In negative questions: Isn't there some kind of tea that helps you sleep? (Expects confirmation and clarification: "Yes, try chamomile.") Aren't you having any cupcakes? (Confirming negative expectation: "No, I just had breakfast.")

Both of these are correct, depending on the style you follow:
✅ Indigenous Peoples’ Day
✅ Indigenous Peoples Day

If you use an apostrophe, place it after and not before the “s” in “peoples.”
❌ Indigenous People’s Day

“Who” for animals: Rules and examples. Use “who” instead of “which” for animals with names. (Lava, who likes being around other animals, is a friendly little dog.) Use “who” for an animal that is personified or to indicate emotional closeness. (The cat, who seemed to like the attention, curled up cozily between us.) Use “which” or “that” to refer to a species or an unknown animal. (Sloths, which spend their lives hanging upside down, are the slowest mammals on Earth. The cat that was rescued has been adopted.) “Who” is also used to discuss animal behavior. (Dogs who refused the supplement were excluded from the study.)
