Today we're sharing an episode we loved from another podcast: All My Relations. In this ep, the folks at AMR talk with Wampanoag scholars Paula Peters and Linda Coombs who provide an Indigenous perspective on the real story of Thanksgiving. We'll see you next week for our Season 6 premiere.

Thanksgiving is a time for people to come together with their families and give thanks for the blessings in their lives; but the American holiday is rooted in historical fallacy and upholds tired settler colonial belief systems. Instead, let's begin to understand the real story of Thanksgiving and the complex history undergirding this event in relation to Indigenous people. The path to reconciliation starts with honest acknowledgement of our past, with open eyes, and open hearts for a better future. It is time for us to be in good relation with one another. We can do that by learning and unlearning how to give thanks in a good way.
