#NationalDayOfMourning

[hear--me-raw]

There’s no pride in Genocide. In a country with a record number of mass shootings it is time that we ask ourselves where this behavior or this energy originates and it’s impossible to not look at the fact that this country was birthed through violence and erasure of its native people. This is something that we must fight every single day for as long as we are here because the colonizers will never stop unless the people say “No Thanks No Giving” At the end of the day we truly are one Nation. Once we know the true story of this land we can reconnect and start taking care of it. The native people are the best stewards of this land and the land needs to go back to them. Mama Gaia is screaming and filled with unnecessary bloodshed and that can end with every single one of us standing up to fight for her. Without her we are NOTHING. Next year this march better double, no it better triple in size. Don’t be scared to speak against the oppressors because spirit has always been by your side and will continue to be by your side through every hardship. The biggest hardship would be for us to stay Quiet and allow the colonizers to destroy our land and then move on to destroy other lands. Let’s show them how powerless they are without us the people. The power has always been in community and the spirit of our ancestors reside within the Mountains, the waters, the sky and of course within us and that’s how we remain eternal🙏🏾 #noprideingenocide #landback #nothanksnogiving #2slgbtqiaplus #thereddeal #plymouthrock #plymouthrockwhatacrock #2spirit #taino #puertorico #nationaldayofmourning #freepeltier (at Plymouth Rock) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClY_O9jJP0M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

National Day of Mourning

United States history dictates the vast amounts of immigration and colonization that exceeded European Imperialism. However, Native Americans who have suffered at the loss of their homelands recognize this mourning.

So, since 1970, participants have created an annual protest called the Day of Mourning to honor Native ancestors and their struggles to survive today. While the holiday coincides with Thanksgiving, the goal of this day is to educate people about Native American history.

History of Day of Mourning

While the story of Thanksgiving tells about a mutual benefit between the Pilgrims and Native Americans, this holiday tells a different side of history. The United American Indians of New England (UAINE) created this holiday to publicize the democide and misrepresentation of Native Americans.

The UANIE is a Native-led, self-supporting organization advocating for the recognition of struggles of Native Americans and political prisoners.

The day was founded based off of an experience one Native had. According to their website, Wamsutta, an Aquinnah Wampanoag man, had been asked to speak at a fancy Commonwealth of Massachusetts banquet celebrating the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims and asked for a copy of the speech.

Within days Wamsutta was told by a representative of the Department of Commerce and Development that he would not be allowed to give the speech. Since then, UANIE asks participants to partake in the Day of Mourning to understand the racism and oppression they faced, as well as find a spiritual remembrance of those throughout history.

Their main location for their activities takes place in Cole’s Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts. They invite speakers and march through the Plymouth district in hopes of understanding the truth about history and the misrepresentation of it throughout generations.

How to celebrate Day of Mourning

The UANIE starts with a day of fasting, from sundown to the afternoon of that day to mourn. Then they have political speakers attend and bring food so people can break their fast. Then they march throughout the district to protest.

While it takes place in New England, its message is aimed at America, and anyone all over can participate. Since it takes place on Thanksgiving, while your family gathers together to create feasts, you can take the time to fast beforehand and research Native American history.

While it is centered around Native Americans, people of all races and backgrounds can participate in a Day of Mourning and mourn with them.

“For The White Poets Who Would Be Indian” by Wendy Rose (Hopi/Miwok) “Why does the daughter of natives and strangers, gold miners and ranchers, write poetry? I can only mark certain times in my life when writing poetry was really the logical thing to do. For instance, there was a time when what I knew could have burst from inside me in other ways.” - Wendy Rose - Native American Literature (Vizenor 1995) #nativeamericanliterature #nativeamericanpoetry #wendyrose #nationaldayofmourning https://www.instagram.com/p/CIFJEgSnX6V/?igshid=p4n7lnklq3i9
