Decolonizing Thanksgiving

arethinn: Legolas seen from the back with text "Through shadows, to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight" (thoughtful (through shadows))
How can we share truths of Thanksgiving, without undermining the holiday that is now more associated with family than with imperialism? How can we share a more authentic, regional version of how this story has affected us in California, rather than an East Coast-heavy narrative that has no direct connection to the Bay Area? How can we rethink what this holiday means so that we can continue to celebrate with our families with laughter and joy — while rejecting the oppression of Indigenous peoples at the same time?
