Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November. November is also Native American Heritage Month. To understand more about the holiday and what it means to Native Americans, I asked Jo Ironshield to join me. Jo is the co-founder of Sage Sisters of Solidarity - a group of indigenous women united against injustice based in Davenport, Iowa. We see and hear many terms used like "Native American," "Indian," "Native Indian," and "Indigenous." I wanted to make sure I understood the differences in terminology and know what Jo prefers to call herself.
