I continue to see people angry that it’s being pointed out that thanksgiving was created to celebrate the murder of Native Americans. I continue to see comments about how y’all are still going to stuff your faces and celebrate.

Nobody said you had to stop using the day to give thanks, spend time with family, and stuff your face. We only ask that you acknowledge the true meaning of the holiday and those of us who have to face a different truth. We only ask that you acknowledge respect us and our truth and sufffering.

It’s very telling when non-natives are more concerned about whether it’s still appropriate to stuff their face than they are about our continued suffering.
