Thanksgiving is a significant holiday for many Indigenous populations across North America, traditionally marking a time of gratitude and reflection. However, for many individuals and communities, it’s inextricably linked to historical trauma and ongoing challenges. The holiday often carries a profound sense of mourning, acknowledging the loss of ancestral lands, traditions, and cultural practices. Many acknowledge the importance of honoring these past experiences while celebrating the present. The holiday represents a complex interplay of cultural significance and historical context for Indigenous communities.
