"If I could ask one thing from my non-indigenous fellow Americans when it
comes to Thanksgiving, I would ask that you refrain from teaching the
romanticized version of the holiday. Read to your children about what it
means to be thankful, what it means to heal and be a family. Learn as a
family about the tribal nation that is local to where you live. Take
time during dinner to recognize whose traditional lands you give thanks
on. Take this holiday into your own hands and understand that not every
Native will have good feelings about this day, and be accepting of that.
We can all choose how we feel about this holiday, but it is always our
own choice."
"Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope."

Did sweet potatoe mash one year when we "celebrated" it for fun.
Consider sparing the life of animals on this day if you can.
LOL
Then the next day fight with others at Black Friday sales.
