For the Indigenous community in the U.S, Thanksgiving Day is a Day of Mourning because of the Wampanoag massacre. We are not asking you to not be Thankful, but recognize your privileges in being in this country and to not assimilate of the misinformation about Thanksgiving. ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻

(Disclaimer: Malcolm X didn’t identify as native of Indigenous but his quote is used in some sources from Wampanoag activism against Thanksgiving)
