The article on
Unthanksgiving Day was an eye-opening exploration of an alternative perspective on the Thanksgiving holiday. It explained how this observance offers an opportunity to reconsider the traditional narrative of gratitude and reflect on the impacts of colonization. The article provided a detailed overview of why some Native Americans and allies choose to mark the day with protest, reflection, and activism. I especially liked the section that suggested ways to educate oneself on indigenous history and the current issues facing Native communities. It was a thought-provoking read that encourages deeper reflection about the true meaning of Thanksgiving and its implications.
