Massachusett (Wôpanâak) Word of the Day:

Happening now! UAINE's National Day of Mourning livestream:
Today is the National Day of Mourning, and AIF Massachusetts stands in solidarity with Indigenous and Native peoples all over the colonized USA who not only have to recall the genocide and enslavement of their ancestors but have to watch white Europeans' descendants celebrate as if what happened was a good thing.
If you celebrate Thanksgiving, especially if you are descended from Europeans and live in the US, we encourage you to have a watch party with your family and friends (the event in Plymouth is going to be livestreamed this year) and spend today learning about the true story of Thanksgiving.

If you're in Massachusetts, a great idea is to donate to UAINE to help defray the costs of the #NDOM2022 rally and to help them continue their work.

Is Live Tooting a thing? Join me as I make it a thing Thanksgiving afternoon: posting about the Indigenous People's National Day of Mourning as I attend the annual observance w/my family; a former student who is now chaplain to MIT's Indigenous students; a big busload of our MIT & Harvard students, and thousands of allies. #MasksUpMayflowersDown #NDOM2022 #NoThanksNoGiving http://www.uaine.org/
