Native siblings, this Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) take time to be thankful for you, your ancestors, us. We have woken up every day only to stare down the barrel of a loaded gun. Every generation has lived and died fighting genocide and the colonialism of our land, bodies, and minds. Eat your corn, mashed potatoes, fry bread, and pumpkin pie knowing that you are carrying hundreds of years of strength, resilience, and culture on your back. You are so strong, you are so important. Let us reclaim this holiday to celebrate ourselves and this legacy.
