For some Thanksgiving stands a reminder of the genocide of Native people, theft of Native lands, and attempted decimation of culture through forced displacement. Join the United American Indians of New England on November 24th for the 53rd National Day of Mourning in-person in Plymouth, Massachusetts. As UAINE says, “It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection, as well as a protest against the racism and oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience worldwide.”
