Enjoy your time feasting with family and friends, but also use this time to honor Native Americans.

Join us on Monday, November 23, 4-5pm

The Origins of Unthanksgiving- On November 20, 1969, a group of Native Americans landed on Alcatraz island, launching a 19-month occupation based on an establishment legal principal of reclaiming abandoned federal lands for Native use. Their claim came after years of watching the U.S. government terminate the status of over 100 tribes and remove approximately 2,500,000 acres of trust land from protected status.

This week marks the 3rd week of Native American Heritage Month. Please continue to educate oneself on the meaning behind this month.

We want to continue to do our part to uplift Indigenous communities and voices. In doing so, we will continue to pass the mic and spotlight Native American members of our community.

But, nomads, remember that the work is ours to do. It is not the job of Indigenous people to teach us. We must be willing and ready to do the work ourselves. Here is a non-exhaustive list of books, websites and podcasts for your reference as YOU continue to do the work on your own.
