Being someone of Native American Ancestry myself, it's a painful reality check for today's celebration holiday. Yes, for a moment, let's give thanks for our blessings. But, in that same moment, let's remember those who paid with their tears and blood.
"Today America will celebrate another fake holiday by eating and drinking to excess while in the real world many are cold and hungry especially on some of our poorest reservations! Please take time to remember our less fortunate Native brothers and sisters at Crow Creek, Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, The Dineh Rez, all the poor reservations in California and elsewhere throughtout Turtle Island (North America)...
What are you celebrating...GIVE THANKS EVERYDAY!"
