This Thanksgiving, we honor the National Day of Mourning—a time to reflect on the true history of this land and the resilience of Indigenous communities. As we gather, let’s recognize the ongoing struggles for justice and equity faced by Native peoples and commit to standing in solidarity with their fight for sovereignty and rights. . . .
