Thanksgiving is a distinctly American holiday that traces its roots back to early 17th-century Pilgrim celebrations, but it’s also intertwined with contentious Native American history.
While Thanksgiving is a time for family and feasting, it also serves as a reminder of the National Day of Mourning for many Native American communities reflecting on historical injustices.
Traditionally celebrated with a meal of roast turkey and various sides, Thanksgiving has become a time for Americans to express gratitude and engage in charitable acts.
The significance of Thanksgiving has expanded since the 1920s, marking a shift towards the Winter holiday season and often being regarded as more meaningful than Christmas.
