37th NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING

NOVEMBER 23
ANNOUNCEMENT: 37th NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING
Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in
Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. thanksgiving
holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims
and other European settlers. Thanksgiving day is a reminder of the genocide
of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless
assault on Native culture. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor
Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is
a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the
racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.
