How do you celebrate the real history behind Thanksgiving, if at all? http://blog.nativepartnership.org/the-real-story-of-the-first-thanksgiving/
How can we all continue to celebrate something that never happened and perpetuate a fallacy? How can we rectify this again? The history history behind Thanksgiving if at all, celebrate the history behind Thanksgiving, if at all all

And I might bring this up at the Thanksgiving table to let the family know that it has unsavory beginnings. But I think just like Christmas, I'm an atheist. So I celebrate Christmas, even though I'm an atheist. So I think we can celebrate Thanksgiving if we change the meaning of it. And how do you reconcile that? I don't know. But bringing it to light and letting people be aware of what it really was in the beginning is a good start. I don't know

But I think a way to maybe commemorate or honor this holiday in a way that makes sense to me is seeing it in some ways as a day of mourning and reflection and also of distributing resources or thinking about the ways in which we can come together in our communities to support and honor the Indigenous Peoples whose land was stolen wherever we are. And that may look differently for all of us, depending on what resources and time and skills we have to offer
