Thanksgiving

Remembering Those Who Came Before Us

As we come together to give thanks, let us also continue our essential efforts to build bridges. Some people use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and reconciliation efforts between Native Americans and non-Native Americans. This includes acknowledging the historical injustices and working towards understanding, respect, and healing. Learn more about the history of Thanksgiving below.

Addressing Disparities During the Holidays

Giving Thanks & Extending Support

During the holiday season, it's especially important to express gratitude for our blessings while acknowledging the unique challenges of those in need. As we give thanks for what we have, let's remember those who may be experiencing adversity. According to Feed America, in 2022, 49 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help putting food on the table. This is a time for empathy, support, and outreach to those who may be struggling. Gratitude should inspire us to be agents of positive change, helping to address disparities during the holidays and throughout the year.
