Do Native American people have their own name for Thanksgiving?
I have yet to meet a true native American – It’s one of the missed opportunities I’ve regretted, for I’ve always admired and felt some kinship with their traditional (holistic) way of looking at life. Although I know a lot of Americans who claim to have some relative in the distant past who was one. I’ve even met a White supremacist nutjob who wanted all African Americans and Muslims to leave America, because he claimed to have some native American blood in him, and therefore was immune from criticism. Obviously, he looked as native as a martian. Anyway, I know that Thanksgiving Day is known as “The National Day of Mourning” by many Native Americans. The first was held in 1970 and their supporters gather at the top of Coles Hill, overlooking Plymouth Rock where the English pilgrims were supposed to have landed. I think it is a day to reflect on the truly insane injustices that befall on all the indigenous people of the world when aggressors, invaders, thieves, and murderers barge thems
