Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

🚫 Today is not a day of "Thanks" for many people. It is an iconic day of pain, broken promises, broken dreams, and systemic violence. 

✏️ We must never forget the lives destroyed, lands stolen, and generational erasure of entire cultures.

Instead:

🙏🏽 Acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples whose land you live on and support campaigns to honor treaty rights and redistribute land and resources.

🍲 Consider hosting "Community Table Feasts" as an alternative to the colonial holiday and invite your neighbors and community, in addition to family. 

🦃 Skip the turkey and bring a dish to share that is unique to your culture, region, or tradition. 

📢 Follow Indigenous leadership in climate, land stewardship, and food sovereignty work.

Let this not be a moment of recognition but a commitment to Restoration, Return, and Relational Accountability.
