While many of us value the traditions of Thanksgiving, it’s important to recognize the history of the holiday. Thanksgiving and Indigenous Peoples: A Time for Reflection

Thanksgiving is often seen as a time for gratitude and togetherness, but for many Indigenous peoples, it carries a deeper and more painful history.

🔸 The Truth Behind the Story
The traditional Thanksgiving narrative oversimplifies the complex history of colonization, land dispossession, and the devastating impact of European settlement on Native communities.

🔸 Indigenous Perspectives
For many Native peoples, Thanksgiving is a Day of Mourning—a time to honor their ancestors, reflect on historical injustices, and celebrate resilience.

🔸 Ways to Honor Indigenous Peoples This Season
🌱 Learn the true history of Thanksgiving.
🌱 Research whose land you live on.
🌱 Support Native-owned businesses and organizations.
🌱 Amplify Indigenous voices and advocate for their rights.

This Thanksgiving, let’s reflect on our history, honor Indigenous resilience, and move toward a more inclusive future.

The 4th of July to many means celebrating our independence and to have a great time! For some veterans and others with PTSD, domestic and wild animals, fireworks create fear, flashbacks and create isolation. Watch out for those who struggle during this holiday.
