Thanksgiving is actually a day of mourning.
We are taught today's 'celebrations' first took place in 1621 on Wampanoag land, or in the so-called colony of Plymouth; but its first official mention wasn’t until 1637, when colonists gave “thanks” after having committed a brutal act of terrorism against a Pequot village, massacring everyone in it.
The story of this bloodless shared dinner has come to symbolise America’s brand of benign colonialism, erasing its past of genocide through massacre, disease, land theft and enslavement.
It masks what is keep hidden about the rest of America's history: that thanks and celebration will always be given for the deaths of Indigenous people.
