Oh, happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans- or, rather, Truthsgiving. Today I tell you a little story about the history of this "holiday"- and I explain why the context is so important to our observance. I'm not telling you not to celebrate the "holiday", don't worry. I am telling you why it's important to be aware of the context around these things we celebrate. I am also encouraging you to take some time this holiday to remember and honor the lives of the Native Peoples who the European settlers displaced/oppressed and the systems that still, to this day, oppress the descendants of the original stewards of the land we walk on.
