It’s Giving Thanks

While I strongly dislike the false origin stories of the holiday

The complete retelling of history to be white washed and biased

How grossly selfish and destructive our American settlers were

And the hidden lies about all the genocide, rapes and smallpox

I do absolutely love and appreciate the concept of a day to show gratitude

A day to spend with family and friends

A day to feast, connect, and watch football

All the aunties and grandmothers gathered in the kitchen

Gossiping and venting about these damn men

The kids watching the parade or enjoying a game of catch

The cousins indulging in their pre-meal walk ritual

The mulled wine, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pies

It is a beautiful day of traditions

Happy Indigenous Oppression Day

Gobble, gobble.
