"She wouldn’t have stood there, helpless, and moony-eyed. No, she would have asked a single question.

“Are you gonna stand there and moan, or are you going to help me pull these damn weeds?

Let’s fu***ng go.”

Melissa Hortman died in a shocking act of political violence. This is her story

In 1970, the Commonwealth of Massachusets held a celebration to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower, which first brough European settlers to what is now the United States.

Organizers invited Frank Wamsutta James, a Wampanoag leader, to speak at the event. As a Wampanoag survivor, James had a different persepctive on the Mayflower's arrival and wrote a speech to reflect the history of theft and genocide comitted by Eurpoean settlers. However, upon reviewing his speech, organizers prepared an alternative speech written by a PR firm, claiming that James' speech was too inflamatory.

They stated, "We can't allow you to read that because 90% of the people would walk out."

James refused to read the alternate speech, and was disinvited from the event.

Instead, James organized with other leaders to hold the first National Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, 1970, where James read his original speech.

"We forfeited our country. Our lands have fallen into the hands of the aggressor. We have allowed the white man to keep us on our knees. What has happened cannot be changed, but today we must work towards a more humane America, a more Indian America, where men and nature once again are important; where the Indian values of honor, truth, and brotherhood prevail." - Frank Wamsutta James

The National Day of Mourning has been an annual demonstration on Thanksgiving day since then.

This doesn't mean you can't celebrate Thanksgiving. Instead, add education and sharing to your celebrations; educate yourself on our nation's history and the genocide of Native people; share what you've learned with others; be thankful for what you have, knowing it is at the expense of immeasurable loss.
