How to #decolonize your #Thanksgiving dinner in observance of #NationalDayofMourning
Meredith Clark
Wed, November 22, 2023
"Thanksgiving is almost upon us, a time when many #Americans gather together to eat turkey and talk about what they’re most thankful for. Growing up in the #UnitedStates, almost everyone can recall the 'First Thanksgiving' story they were told in elementary school: how the local #Wampanoag #NativeAmericans sat down with the #pilgrims of #Plymouth Colony in 1621, in what is now present-day #Massachusetts, for a celebratory feast.
"However, this story is far from the truth - which is why many people opt out of celebrating the controversial holiday.
"For many #Indigenous communities throughout the US, Thanksgiving remains a National Day of Mourning - a reminder of the devastating #genocide and #displacement that occurred at the hands of European #colonisers following their arrival in the Americas.
"Every year since 1970, #IndigenousPeople and their allies have even gathered near #PlymouthRock to commemorate a National #DayOfMourning on the day of Thanksgiving. 'Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the erasure of Native cultures,' states the official website for the United American Indians of New England. 'Participants in National Day of Mourning honour Indigenous #ancestors and Native resilience. It is a day of #remembrance and #spiritual connection, as well as a #protest against the #racism and #oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience #worldwide.'
"This year, the 54th annual National Day of Mourning takes place on 23 November - the same day as Thanksgiving. While not everyone can support the event in person, there are still many ways people can raise awareness toward issues affecting Indigenous communities from wherever they are - by '#decolonising' their Thanksgiving dinner.
"#Decolonisation can be defined as the active resistance against #settlerColonialism and a shifting of power towards Indigenous sovereignty. Of course, it’s difficult to define decolonisation without putting it into practice, writes Eve Tuck and K Wayne Yang in their essay, #Decolonization Is Not a Metaphor. Rather, one of the most radical and necessary moves toward decolonisation requires imagining and enacting a future for Indigenous peoples - a future based on terms of their own making.
"Matt Hooley is an assistant professor in the department of Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College, where he teaches about US colonial powers and Indigenous cultural production. 'Decolonisation is a beautiful and difficult political horizon that should guide our actions everyday, including during holidays like Thanksgiving,' he tells The Independent. 'Of course, Thanksgiving is a particularly relevant holiday to think about decolonisation because the way many people celebrate it involves connecting ‘the family’ to a colonial myth in which colonialism is inaccurately imagined as a peaceful event in the past.'
"By decolonising our Thanksgiving, we can celebrate the holiday with new traditions that honour a future in which Indigenous people are celebrated. This year, we can start by understanding the real history behind Thanksgiving as told by actual Indigenous communities.
"While Americans mainly dedicate one day a year to give thanks, Indigenous communities express gratitude every day with the #Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address - often called: 'The words that come before all else.' The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address is the central prayer and invocation for the #HaudenosauneeConfederacy, which comprises the #SixNations - #Mohawk, #Oneida, #Onondaga, #Cayuga, #Seneca, and #Tuscarora. When one recites the Thanksgiving Address, they’re giving thanks for all life and the natural world around them.
"According to Hooley, one of the most straightforward actions people can take to decolonise their Thanksgiving includes supporting Indigenous land acknowledgments and land back movements. #LandBack is an ongoing Indigenous-led movement which seeks to return ancestral lands to Indigenous people and the recognition of Indigenous #sovereignty. While the movement is nowhere near new, it received international attention in 2016 during protests against the #DakotaAccesSPipeline - which continues to disrupt land and #water sources belonging to the #StandingRockSioux Tribe.
"This year, sit down with family and friends to discuss an action plan and highlight the concrete steps you plan on taking to support Indigenous communities. 'Another, even simpler way would be to begin participating in what’s called a ‘Voluntary Land Tax,’ whereby non-Indigenous people contribute a recurring tax to the tribal communities whose land you occupy,' said Hooley.
"Food is perhaps the most important part of the Thanksgiving holiday, with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes taking center stage. However, there are many ways we can make sure our dinner tables honour Indigenous futurisms too. Donald A Grinde, Jr is a professor emeritus in the department of Africana and American Studies at the University at Buffalo. Grinde - who is a member of the #YamasseeNation - tells The Independent that crops such as #corn, #beans, #squash, #tomatoes, and #potatoes are central to #IndigenousHistory and future.
"'A good thing is to be thankful for the abundance in the fall and note that Native people created over 60 percent of modern #agricultural #crops,' he said. 'People can be thankful for the crops that Native people created, #medicines created, and traditions about #democracy, #WomensRights and #environmental rights.'
"Rather than buying food from major corporations this year, Hooly also recommended people consciously source their Thanksgiving dinner from Indigenous producers. 'Industrial agriculture is one of the most devastating contributors to the destruction of land and water everywhere, including on Indigenous land,' he said. 'Instead of buying food grown or made by colonial corporations, people could buy their food from Indigenous producers, or even simply make a greater effort to buy locally grown food or not to buy meat harvested from industrial farms.'
"Thanksgiving is just a day away. While it’s important that we’re actively working toward highlighting Indigenous communities on this special holiday, decolonisation efforts are something that should be done year-round.
"'People can also learn about political priorities of the Indigenous communities near them and support those priorities by speaking to their representatives, participating in a protest, or by making sure that their local school and library boards are including Indigenous texts in local community education,' Hooley said."

The new elected chief of Six Nations of the Grand River, Sherri-Lyn Hill, says her first priority is strengthening the community from within.
"This involves fostering better communication, nurturing our culture and ensuring that the needs of every member are met," Hill told reporters in the council chambers Wednesday.

@schlupf Moin, laut meinen Kenntnisstand hat #morethansports.tv die Rechte für die #SixNations noch ein weiteres Jahr. sprich die sollten wieder kostenlos streambar sein mit dt. Kommentar. Der Sender überträgt auch jede Woche einzelne Spiel der englischen Liga (#Premiership) und dann ein Großteil des #HeinekenCup (besten Teams der #URC, der frz. #Top14 und der englischen Liga).
Ansonsten lassen sich die SixNation Spiele auch immer gut mit Zug erreichen oder mit der Fähre Amsterdam-Newcastle ;)
@RugbyNerd Hey, meine Familie und ich sind jetzt auch total angefixt und würden ungern die nächsten 4 Jahre auf #Rugby verzichten wollen. Hast du 'nen Tipp, wie man zwischendrin in Deutschland die #SixNations möglichst günstig und stressfrei auf den Fernseher bekommt? Ideal wäre auch eine Option für #SuperRugbyPacific und Spiele der #AllBlacks, weil wir alle 'nen leichten Crush für Damian McKenzie entwickelt haben...
Nicht traurig sein 😢
Nach dem #rwc2023 ist vor den #sixnations 🏉
I usually root for #Wales (#Cymru), #Scotland, #France (#LesBleus) in the #SixNations. Even made it to the then #MilleniumStadium in #Cardiff to watch Manu #Samoa beat Wales a few years ago, very good game and met some Wales fans before the match (I was the one near the bottom rows holding a large Samoa flag 🇹🇼). Then I headed to #Paris for #FRAvSAM match (our loss, especially the own goal).
It's nice to see #Ireland become so good, again.
Well, I'd like to see 7 nations rugby with Portugal in the mix. Exciting game.
#Rugby #RugbyWorldCup #Portugal #SixNations
Try Georgia! And a well-earned one, at that! Georgia are making a strong case to replace Italy in the #SixNations… #rugby #RWC2023 #WALvGEO
Whispers freighted with odour swinging into the air,
Russet needles as censers swing to an altar, where
The angels’ songs are less divine
Than duo sung twixt breeze and pine.

This is starting to look like a typical #SixNations match, only with Italy playing the role of not-Italy. #rugby #RWC2023 #ITAvURU
Maybe Uruguay could replace Italy in the #SixNations… 🤔
(Not that I actually want Italy to be cut from the tournament… I especially hate the South Africa idea.) #rugby #RWC2023 #ITAvURU

@dancinyogi My wife doesn’t acknowledge my existence when I’m watching #rugbyworldcup Not since she jumped into a hug of joy when Scotland beat England in the #SixNations & I cracked one of her ribs in my exuberance. 😳😱. I heard it. I accept my culpability.

#France plays the #SixNations Matches 2024 not at the Stade de #France in #Paris
This is a rather good bank holiday weekend. #Womens #SixNations #Rugby #England v #France with my family, a stopover with friend and back in time for #SongReivers Community #Choir this morning. Later there may be #sewing.
No need to post the trainspotting gifs today, it feels pretty good to be scottish actually #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
One final score this time by Rollie. The ball was getting out wide so well in those last few minutes, really heartening to see. #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
And Malcolm gets over! Ireland's desperation is showing in the number of times I've heard "advantage" in the past 5 minutes #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
Two pieces of luck for ireland: try is a knock-on and no yellow for the high tackle, but I'll be surprised if there isn't another scotland try #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
And WHAT A TRY by Fran McGhie #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
Scotland must have made about 60m from those few penalties, but if the lineout is going this way, that may not be the play to make #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
And Scotland fire right back with a try! The Skeldon-Smith play made so much ground, and then all they had to do was hammer at the line until it broke #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
Scotlands discipline breaking down and Ireland keeping the pressure means that score was sure to come eventually. The conversion brings the score to even at 10-10 #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
Scotland get their second try early in the second half and yes it is from skeldon at the maul :blobcat_flagScotland: #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
That maul was in danger of going out, but we get a scotland try by Smith after the 40 min mark. I can't believe this game is only 5-3 at the break, it's been intense #SCOvIRE #SixNations #TikTokW6N
The back play by Italy has been phenomenal. A joy to watch #ITAvWAL #SixNations #TikTokW6N
Les Bleues étaient menées 33-0 à la mi-temps... cruel, bcp de regrets...

Six Nations squad captures provincial hockey title
The Six Nations Blackhawks captured the gold medal at the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Tier 2 tournament, which concluded April 2 in Barrie.
This is believed to be the first time in more than a decade that a Six Nations squad won an OMHA championship.

Die Women's #SixNations sehen in den Highlights nicht schlecht aus was den Zuschauer:innenzuspruch angeht.
Fast komplett volles Stadion in Northampton:

Auch bei den anderen Spielen in kleineren Stadien waren keine leeren Ränge zu sehen.
Zwischenzeitlich hatte ich nicht mehr damit gerechnet, aber #DieEierköpfe haben letzte Woche Folge 100 ihres #Rugby #Podcast veröffentlicht. Neben (berechtigten) Selbstabfeiern werden die #SixNations ausführlich nachbesprochen.
Also auf den nächsten 100 ohne mehrmonatige Pausen :D
Glückwunsch!

From squad-made Grand Slam history in 2013, the IRFU ten years later having set women's rubgy back to 2009 levels is peak IRFU.
Die #SixNations der Männer sind durch für dieses Jahr, so dass bei #morethansports.tv jetzt wieder mehr #Premiership #Rugby gezeigt wird. Hier das Programm:
Fr
20:40 Newcastle Falcons vs Gloucester
Sa
16:30 Bristol Bears vs Harlequins (WH vom 12.03.)
18:25 London Irish vs Northampton Saints
Am Sonntag dann Wiederholung der beiden Livespiele (Facons vs Glouster und Irish vs Saints).
Daneben starten am Wochenende die Women's Six Nations, welche in Dtl. aber nur über VPN zu schauen sind.
Correct decision to rescind. If that’s a red then you might as well steam on through and take the guy out. Trying to avoid the collision has to be a mitigation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/65035837 #sixnations #6nations #tackle #ENGvIRE

It's not over yet. The future #6Nations stars are doing their thing tomorrow afternoon with Ireland U20s chasing the grand slam too
I remember reading about this a few years ago, but I've forgotten the details.
Why does Ireland have 27 points after 5 wins and 4 bonus points? Where does the 3 extra points come from?
At least we got rid of Eddie Jones.
Will there be anyone at work in #ireland tomorrow? #sixnations 🙌😁
Well done to Ireland! There’s little kids in that stadium who will be talking about this game when they are in their 80’s.

It's got to be weird that one of the country's national anthems is also the national anthem of 3¼ of the countries in the tournament.
France really just do have a ton of talent on the pitch. Come on Wales, turn this around! 🏴 #FRAvWAL #SixNations
Anyone else watching France v Wales on ITV? Is the audio running just a little bit ahead of the video for you? Feels like a few moments where the commentator is describing things just before they happen. #SixNations #rugby
#6nations #rugby #SCOvITA thrilling spectacle at the finish, as a sport we need #Italy and other teams to continue improving their game and giving the old guard serious competition.
Let's settle in for #FRAvWAL - get that drubbing over and done with, so we can enjoy #IREvENG at home, #StPatricksDay weekend #GrandSlam
#SixNations #Rugby Oh, that was so, so, so cruel. But, absolutely stunning try from #Scotland - bonus point!
