Although it premiered over 18 years ago, The Sopranos has a Columbus Day-themed episode that’s still relevant today. The episode, which is titled “Christopher,” portrays the conflicting opinions between Italian-American and Native American communities when it comes to the holiday.
The episode has also inspired a meme for today’s significance. “I’m gonna take action on this,” says Silvio in the image, referring to protesters who threaten to lie down in front of the Columbus Day parade. After the episode aired, Sopranos stars Dominic Chianese and Lorraine Bracco were banned from marching in the real New York Columbus Day Parade.

What is the “Christopher” episode of The Sopranos about?
Believing that their actions are an insult to Italian-American culture, Silvio (Steven Van Zandt) decides to interfere with Native Americans protesting a Columbus Day parade. He conjures a small mob against the group — although they’re eventually stopped by the police. After the situation unfolds, Ralphie (Joe Pantoliano) threatens the protesters, claiming he’ll reveal the fact that the famous Native American figure Iron Eyes Cody is actually an Italian-American.
While this is all happening, Tony (James Gandolfini) negotiates with the Native American protesters on his own terms. He settles the matter with Assemblyman Ron Zellman (Peter Riegert) and an Indian chief, asking them to call the protest off.
