"Since 1970, Indigenous people & their allies have gathered at noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native people do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims & other European settlers. Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands and the erasure of Native cultures. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Indigenous ancestors and Native resilience. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection, as well as a protest against the racism and oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience worldwide.
National Day of Mourning
Thursday, November 27, 2025
12:00 Noon
Cole’s Hill (above #PlymouthRock), #PlymouthMA
Join us as we continue to create a true awareness of Native peoples and history. Help shatter the untrue image of the Pilgrims, and the unjust system based on #WhiteSupremacy, #SettlerColonialism, #sexism, #homophobia and the profit-driven destruction of the Earth that they and other European settlers introduced to these shores.
#Solidarity with #IndigenousStruggles throughout the world!
From #TurtleIsland to #Palestine, #Colonialism is a Crime!
While many supporters will attend in person, we will also Livestream the event from Plymouth.

No sit-down social, but box lunches will be available.
Masks required.
What is National Day of Mourning?
An annual tradition since 1970, National Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day (and have a social after #NDOM so that participants in NDOM can break their fasts). We are mourning our ancestors and the #genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in action and solidarity.
When and where is Day of Mourning?
Thursday, November 27, 2025 (U.S. “thanksgiving” day) at Cole’s Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts, 12 noon SHARP. Cole’s Hill is the hill above Plymouth Rock in the Plymouth historic waterfront area. The rallies and marches will last until approximately 3 pm.
Will there be a march?
Yes, there will be a march through the historic district of Plymouth. Plymouth agreed, as part of the settlement of 10/19/98, that UAINE may march on National Day of Mourning without the need for a permit as long as we give the town advance notice.
Program
Although we very much welcome our non-Native supporters to join us, it is a day when only Indigenous people speak about our history and the struggles that are taking place throughout the Americas. Speakers are by invitation only. This year’s NDOM will be livestreamed from Plymouth.
Note that NDOM is not a powwow or commercial event, so we ask that people do not sell merchandise or distribute leaflets at the outdoor program. We will have UAINE t-shirts available for sale following the march.
We also ask that you do not eat (unless you must do so for medical reasons) at the outdoor speak-out and march out of respect for the participants who are fasting.
Dress for the weather!
Social
There will be box lunches available for distribution after the march (turkey and vegan), but we will not have a full sit-down social.
Livestream
If you cannot get to Plymouth, you can watch ourlivestream!"

Ditch the cranberry sauce and get ready for gore! In dishonor of the Thanksgiving holiday, we're hosting a horror movie double feature fundraiser. All proceeds will support Indigenous anarchist political prisoner Oso Blanco, currently serving 55 years related to bank expropriations in support of the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico in the late 90s.
Suggested donation $5-20. Learn more about Oso Blanco at https://freeosoblanco.org.

This National Day of Mourning, instead of ignoring or even celebrating genocide, learn to do better.
Send money to Gazans, check out the Indigenous Mutual Aid hashtag, fight against I.C.E. in your communities!
From Turtle Island to Palestine to Hawai'i, we are still here! We see what you're doing, we see what your priorities are. You must do better
-Evel (Xicane)
Mourn the Dead and Fight Like Hell for the Living
Yearlyish reminder that it is bad and horrific to celebrate genocide, in case somehow you didn't figure that out on your own yet.
And yes, even when you call it friendsgiving or whatever other thing. Just have a get together on a Friday or Saturday and be fucking normal!
