TIL that there's an "Unthanksgiving" celebration (National Day Of Mourning)
While most Americans have celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, many descendants from Native Americans are not that happy about the Holiday.
We all know how how the settlers brutally took away the land from the natives, and killed them, or forced them to work in slavery for them.
Every year on Thanksgiving, it's also the NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING:
The takeover of native american land is still one of the biggest and most terrifying genocides of all time.
We have so much to be thankful for, so let's not forget an entire ethnical group of people that had their homeland taken away from them - the land US citizens now live on

Very sad part of american history. Sometimes I feel like this country glorifies its past a bit too much, not honoring all the terrible things that happened enough.
And then they indoctrinate the children into pro-American "patriots" aka sheeple. Completely ignorant of America's dark past.
As an ashamed American of Native American descent,I avoided celebrating Thanksgiving for this and various other reasons. Wish ALL Americans would follow suit.
history can't be forgotten! everyone should be aware of this on thanksgiving :/
