Thanksgiving, filtered through a Native lens of truth and resistance, can become a moment of reckoning — a time to give thanks for our survival, resistance and commitment to dismantling the structures of oppression that have persisted for centuries.

Thanksgiving, often celebrated as a time of gratitude, masks the violent history of colonization and oppression of Indigenous peoples. Native communities challenge these sanitized myths, advocating for recognition of their resilience and ongoing struggles for justice. Historical events like the Alcatraz occupation and the Day of Mourning highlight Indigenous resistance and solidarity, drawing parallels between the experiences of Native Americans and Palestinians in Gaza, both subjected to land dispossession and systemic oppression. Understanding these histories is crucial to disrupting the myths of Thanksgiving and fostering a more truthful and just narrative.
