As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, we invite you to reflect on the deeper significance of this time. While the holiday often focuses on gratitude and togetherness, it’s also important to acknowledge the historical and cultural complexities tied to this day. Thanksgiving serves as a reminder to honor the rich traditions and contributions of Native American communities while also recognizing the painful history that is often overshadowed. Native American Heritage Day, observed the day after Thanksgiving, offers an opportunity to celebrate the resilience, culture, and voices of Indigenous peoples. This week, we encourage you to: ?? Take time to learn about the original stewards of the land you call home ?? Support Native-led organizations and businesses ?? Recognize the National Day of Mourning and engage in conversations that honor Native histories As we embrace gratitude this week, let us also commit to learning, growing, and uplifting the voices and stories that deserve to be heard.
