Some Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving this way as well, because feasting is Indigenous \u2014 we also love eating and watching football.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the holiday carries a much heavier weight: It is a stark reminder of the violent colonization that began with the arrival of European settlers. The idyllic myths surrounding Thanksgiving align with broader strategies of historical revisionism used to justify settler colonialism by distorting and erasing histories of violence, exploitation and resistance. They reinforce settler identity and national pride and discourage critical engagement in our complex histories. These strategies serve to normalize colonization, valorize settlers and silence Indigenous voices.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, even in the shadow of these painful histories, Native communities have found ways to challenge the sanitized myths of Thanksgiving and call for a reckoning with the true history of the United States, encouraging reflection, accountability and action to support Indigenous rights and justice. At the same time, the holiday serves as an opportunity to reclaim whitewashed narratives and assert Indigenous presence, reminding the world of the unbroken spirit of Native nations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-1200x1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-323598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-2400x3200.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161848-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A collage featured in the Red Power on Alcatraz Perspectives 50 years Later exhibit.<\/figcaption><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-credit mt-0 font-sans fs-13 text-uppercase black-70\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Johnnie Jae.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In November 1969, a group of young Native activists, who became known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/native-american-activists-occupy-alcatraz-island-45-years-ago\">\u201cIndians of All Tribes,\u201d<\/a> sought to draw attention to the federal government\u2019s failure to honor treaties, the dire conditions on reservations, and the systemic erasure of Indigenous cultures by occupying Alcatraz Island after a fire destroyed the American Indian Center in San Francisco.

The event was conceived after Wamsutta, an Aquinnah Wampanoag leader, was invited to speak at the commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the arrival of the pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. After his planned speech \u2014 which criticized the glorification of the whitewashed Thanksgiving narrative and detailed the atrocities committed against Indigenous peoples \u2014 was censored, he and other Indigenous activists gathered to mark the first Day of Mourning.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most poignant moments in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uaine.org\/suppressed_speech.htm\">speech<\/a> that Wamsutta had planned was a reminder of our humanity:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" wp_automatic_readability=\"22\">\n<p>History wants us to believe that the Indian was a savage, illiterate, uncivilized animal. A history that was written by an organized, disciplined people, to expose us as an unorganized and undisciplined entity. Two distinctly different cultures met. One thought they must control life; the other believed life was to be enjoyed, because nature decreed it. Let us remember, the Indian is and was just as human as the white man. The Indian feels pain, gets hurt, and becomes defensive, has dreams, bears tragedy and failure, suffers from loneliness, needs to cry as well as laugh. He, too, is often misunderstood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the Day of Mourning acknowledges the historical injustices and mourns the loss of our ancestors, it is also a celebration of Indigenous survival, resilience and identity. Participants honor their ancestors through prayer and fasting while raising awareness about land sovereignty, environmental justice and the rights of Native people.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\" wp_automatic_readability=\"1.5\">\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"6\">\n<p>Indigenous peoples in the United States and Palestinians in Gaza have faced similar patterns of land dispossession and territorial fragmentation under settler-colonial systems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Day of Mourning also connects struggles faced by Indigenous peoples worldwide, highlighting the shared impacts of colonization and the need for collective resistance, which weighs heavily on Native communities as we bear witness to Israel\u2019s war on Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Across continents and centuries, Indigenous peoples in the United States and Palestinians in Gaza have faced similar patterns of land dispossession and territorial fragmentation under settler-colonial systems. In the U.S., policies like the <a href=\"https:\/\/education.nationalgeographic.org\/resource\/indian-removal-act\/\">Indian Removal Act<\/a> forcibly displaced Indigenous nations from their ancestral lands and pushed them onto reservations often located on economically and ecologically marginal terrain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/dawes-act\">The Dawes Act <\/a>compounded this dispossession by fragmenting tribal territories and reducing Indigenous landholdings by millions of acres.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Palestinians faced mass displacement during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/about-the-nakba\/\">Nakba in 1948<\/a>, with thousands forced into refugee camps. This dispossession continues today through land confiscations and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Meanwhile, Gaza remains isolated under a blockade that restricts movement and access, further severing Palestinians from their homelands.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-1200x1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-323601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-2400x3200.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/truthout.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20211031_161834-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A sign reading From Alcatraz to Standing Rock is featured in the Red Power on Alcatraz Perspectives 50 years<br \/>Later.<\/figcaption><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-credit mt-0 font-sans fs-13 text-uppercase black-70\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Johnnie Jae<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The erosion of sovereignty has been a central tool of oppression for both Indigenous peoples in the United States and Palestinians in Gaza.

Over 140 people were arrested on charges, including criminal trespassing, rioting and endangerment by fire, the last stemming from vehicles allegedly set ablaze during the confrontation. The militarized response exemplified the lengths to which authorities go to protect corporate interests over Native lives and environmental justice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft\" wp_automatic_readability=\"1.5\">\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"6\">\n<p>The myths of Thanksgiving perpetuate a sanitized narrative of harmony and gratitude that erases the violent historical and contemporary realities of settler colonialism.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza face severe restrictions on self-governance, with Israel exerting control over borders, airspace and access to essential resources. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Oslo-Accords\">Oslo Accords<\/a> further fragmented Palestinian governance, fostering dependence on international aid while denying meaningful autonomy. Palestinians also encounter systemic efforts to crush resistance through militarized surveillance, airstrikes and blockades to maintain Israel\u2019s hold on the region.<\/p>\n<p>For Native peoples, the destruction and suffering in Gaza are hauntingly familiar because they mirror the aftermath of tragedies like the Massacre of Wounded Knee and violent police attacks on Water Protectors at Standing Rock. These shared experiences highlight the devastating consequences of colonizers wielding violence to suppress resistance. However, while these tragic circumstances remind us of our shared history of violence, they also remind us that our people have a shared spirit of resilience and survival.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand these histories and the parallels that exist because crimes against humanity have a strange way of becoming pillars of American exceptionalism, \u201cnecessary evils\u201d for the sake of \u201cprogress\u201d and \u201cmanifest destiny\u201d that, over time, become mythologized and celebrated as holidays \u2014 see Columbus Day, Independence Day and Presidents\u2019 Day. Thanksgiving is no exception. I dread the possibility that someday a similar holiday could be invented to reframe Israel\u2019s war on Gaza as a benevolent and just occurrence that should be celebrated.<\/p>\n<p>The myths of Thanksgiving perpetuate a sanitized narrative of harmony and gratitude that erases the violent historical and contemporary realities of settler colonialism. By glorifying the arrival of European settlers and ignoring the intentional eradication and oppression of Indigenous peoples, Thanksgiving becomes less about gratitude and more of a tool for perpetuating historical erasure and distraction, further marginalizing Indigenous voices and struggles.<\/p>\n<p>As Thanksgiving myths continue to shape public consciousness, there is a pressing need to disrupt those narratives and center the voices of those who have been silenced. By addressing the uncensored history of colonization and its ongoing impacts, we can encourage action toward Indigenous sovereignty, environmental justice and human rights on a global scale.<\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving, filtered through a Native lens of truth and resistance, can become a moment of reckoning \u2014 a time to give thanks for our survival, resistance and commitment to dismantling the structures of oppression that have persisted for centuries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"truth-post-content-after\" id=\"truth-1754267860\">\n<div class=\"callout inline-callout p-4 mb-5 callout-- callout--white truth-target\" id=\"truth-322961\" data-callout-id=\"322961\" data-callout-theme=\"white\" data-callout-placement=\"Post Content - After\" data-callout-title=\"2024-11 Election Week (FRU) Truthout Is Preparing to Meet Trump's Agenda With Resistance at Every Turn\" data-truth-trackid=\"322961\" data-truth-trackbid=\"1\" wp_automatic_readability=\"44.5\">\n<div class=\"p-2 text-start\" wp_automatic_readability=\"109\">\n<h5 class=\"pb-2\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase; font-family: var(--bs-font-sans-serif); text-align: center;\">Truthout Is Preparing to Meet Trump\u2019s Agenda With Resistance at Every Turn<\/h5>\n<p class=\"mb-3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear <em>Truthout<\/em> Community,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel rage, despondency, confusion and deep fear today, you are not alone.
