Native Americans hold National Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving in solidarity with Indigenous struggles around the globe

Human rights

For more than half a century, groups of Native Americans have been gathering on Thanksgiving to mark a National Day of Mourning at a historic site in Massachusetts. They honor their ancestors who were subject to atrocities by settlers in the 17th century. Over the years, they have also been a voice for other oppressed Indigenous groups around the world.
