Many of us have heard the history of Thanksgiving in America in the classroom, but schools don’t teach the true history of Thanksgiving from the perspective of Native American tribes like the Wampanoags or the Narragansetts. Until the history of Indigenous people of America is taught in schools, Native Americans today will always be misrepresented and underserved by the government and society. It’s imperative that we academically recognize the historical relationships between colonists and Indigenous people and how that has shaped our modern society.

Happy Thanksgiving and we also stand with our fellow Americans on this National Day of Mourning.
