Reimagining Thanksgiving
For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is considered a day of mourning. In 2016, Unitarian Universalists voted to pay special attention to learning our history and rethinking Thanksgiving in the year 2020, in observance of the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims landing in Plymouth. Historically, UU ministers were instrumental in creating the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday and the “Pilgrims and the Indians” pageant tradition that roots the holiday in an historically inaccurate and harmful colonial narrative. Let us reflect and acknowledge our role as a denomination, honor the peoples of the First Nations , and reimagine a different way of celebrating Thanksgiving. Speakers- The 8th Principle Task Force
