Most people know Thanksgiving as the holiday of gratitude, where families can gather together and reconnect with one another, explained Dr. Kelli Mosteller, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s Cultural Heritage Center director on the Potawatomi Nation website. However, she said the Indigenous population of America does not view Thanksgiving as such. On the website, Mosteller said, “[Thanksgiving] just disregards (the centuries of brutality) against Native Americans and chooses to take this one tiny snapshot, and in the world of social media, it puts all the pretty filters on it so that it doesn’t look the way it truly did.”
