Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is also the National Day of Mourning, which remembers the genocide of millions of Native Americans and their ongoing erasure today.

In giving thanks today, let us also reflect and act to stop the ongoing genocide of America's Indigenous Peoples.

@QasimRashid @gzt thanks so much for sharing. You led me to this article which is… frankly… opening a whole world of ideas for me.

Frank James and the history of the National Day of Mourning

Fifty years ago, a proud Native American man called Frank James took a stand. He took a stand against centuries of history that told a story that simply was not true. A legacy that gave his people no voice.
