As a Canadian, with our Thanksgiving in October, its origins (you inspired me to look it up) are different and is more of a celebration of the harvest. While our Thanksgiving holiday may remain morally intact, our entire history as a country has been tainted by how we have treated and continue to treat our Indigenous peoples. You have presented good “food for thought” (pun intended) and ideas for small actions at either Thanksgiving time.
Thank you for using your platform and privilege to speak truth ❤️ As a future history teacher, this is the history I wish to teach my students.
