Thanksgiving Revisited: Restoring Justice to Our Legacy of Genocide

Thanksgiving Revisited: Restoring Justice to Our Legacy of Genocide

What if the Thanksgiving holiday could be transformed to represent a time, every year, to restore justice, healing and reconciliation to our American history of genocide and slavery?

I sense that Thanksgiving needs to integrate a tradition of mourning the spilt blood that has been shed - especially here, in the Northeastern United States, where first contact happened.  While this new way of “celebrating” thanksgiving will not be “fun,” I think about it being more “joyous” because it will feel more whole and aligned with values of truth-telling, restorative justice and reconciliation.
