Today, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. My family will be taking advantage of the time given to us to eat and be together. But we will not be celebrating colonialism.

Today is also National Day of Mourning for Native Americans. It was initiated by Frank "Wamsutta" James of the Wampanoag people in 1970.
