My gratitude to you, Melissa, for directly addressing these important issues. I have the fortune to spend much time in Indigenous nations and communities, including Native Hawaiian, First Nations, American Indian and appreciate the significance of this message today for the many dear friends and colleagues who are our First Americans. Opening our eyes and hearts to these truths helps us all develop conscious awareness of the realities regarding Native people so we can be intentional with language and actions.
It is critical that we each have deep awareness of our own cultural identities, our prejudices (subtle or blatant) and to be cognizant of our privileges or lack thereof. This message is action that promotes that awareness
Thankful for your clear heart and voice, Cynthia

What a wonderful list of Thanksgiving related links! Thanks for including my kid’s journal post. We’ve had a lot of fun this month adding lots of drawings and writing prompts to our journal. My focus this month has been The Mayflower/Plymouth, Squanto/1st Thanksgiving, and (next week) our own thankfulness.

This is so timely and appropriate. As my kids get older I want to be sure I am teaching the true Thanksgiving story. I am a new FB follower from Quirky Momma. Vicky from http://www.messforless.net
