The popular notion of “Thanksgiving” has long been thought of as a celebration of peace and friendship between Native Americans and Pilgrims. This is a false construction created through colonization and propagated by capitalism and institutional racism. Join us for an evening in which we will deconstruct the westernized Thanksgiving.
This will be our closing out event for Native American Heritage Month and we hope that you all can make it out for a fun and educational experience!
