For Native American Heritage Day: A Finding Aid to the Corresponding Section of Travalance

The day after Thanksgiving is always Native American Heritage Day, a day, I guess, when things are even more Native American Heritagey than they are during Native American Heritage Month, which is all of November. Since I’ve just increased the size of the Native American section of Travalanche by about 25% to nearly 120 posts, I thought I’d observe the day by creating this finding aid to help you…

Acadian Day (LA)

While this day is to celebrate the resilience, contribution, and culture of Acadians, it's also Native American Heritage Day, so I'd also like to celebrate and thank the Wabanaki Confederacy, specifically the Mi'kmaq, Penobscot, and Wolastoqey Nations.

Without the Mi'kmaq Nation accepting the French colonizers onto their land and extending a hand of peace and teaching, the French would not have easily survived, if at all.

Thanks to the bravery and resistance of the Penobscot and Wolastoqey Nations, some of the Acadians were able to evade capture, deportation, and death. If not for them, there would have been nothing for the returning Acadians to come home to.

Thanks to all of them, the Acadians were able to settle deep roots that would resound through time.

Wela'lin, Mi'kmaq Nation.

Woliwoni, Penobscot Nation.

Woliwon, Wolastoqey Nation.

We owe more than we could ever repay to you.

AI video I created to celebrate Native American Heritage Day.

Celebrate Native American Heritage Day & be thankful for Native Americans. 💞

[pollenallergie]

anyways!!! in honor of native american heritage day being tomorrow!!! remember that blood quantum is a colonial construct and most (if not all) indigenous communities were not at all concerned with it prior to colonialism and, honestly, many still aren’t concerned with it/don’t recognize it as being valid!! you are allowed to reclaim your heritage and celebrate and appreciate and partake in the culture of your ancestors no matter how far back you trace your indigenous roots, just always be sure to do it respectfully, and to be mindful of other indigenous people and to listen to them and not to speak over them/drown them out!!! if another indigenous person checks you for doing something disrespectful or doing/saying something incorrectly, that is not a personal attack!! that is a learning opportunity!! use it to grow & be better so that you can better honor your heritage!!!

TODAY IS THE DAY. TODAY IS THE DAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS WHOLE YEAR AND NOVEMBER.

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT DONT KNOW IT.

I AM Multi Racial and One of Races that I am have been exploring this month. Is My NATIVE AMERICAN Side of the Family.

For i am part of 1 of the Greatest Tribes that ever lived. Not to belittle my fellow Native American Brethen out there.

I am part of The Seminole Tribe. Originally they originated from Florida and They Were a Very Mighty Tribe For They were the only Tribe in America 🇺🇸 that was UNCONQUERED BY THE WHITE OPPRESSION.

During the time of Slavery and Pillaging the land of all of its natural resources for their own greedy needs.

Runaway Slaves needed shelter from the White Men and they found it.

Here in the Seminole Tribe Terrotity. They found a way to call this place Home for the time being. As War raged on in America for all of the other Native American tribes who were either killed or driven from their Homelands and sent to INDIAN RESERVATIONS AS THE WHITE MEN CALLED IT.

MOST WERE ALL PROMISED TREATYS ONLY TO BE REMOVED AND LIED TOO AND DRIVEN AWAY AGAIN.

The Seminoles fought back like all the others. But their Numbers grew as more Runaway Slaves came in and bonds and families were made between the 2 groups over time.

THE WHITE MAN'S OPPRESSION WAS NO MATCH FOR THEM.

AND TILL THIS VERY DAY. MY PEOPLE, THE SEMINOLES STILL REMAIN UNCONQUERED.

Today I implore you to LEARN, EDUCATE, READ ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE SEMINOLE TRIBE AND ALL THE OTHERS.

ALL OF THEIR LANDS.

ALL OF THEIR HOMES.

ALL OF THEIR CULTURES.

YOU ARE STANDING ON IT.

THIS IS OUR LAND AND YOU LIVE HERE BECAUSE OF US.

FOR TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF NOVEMBER FOR #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

THIS IS

#NativeAmericanHeritageDay .

HAPPY NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE DAY TO ALL OF MY FELLOW NATIVE AMERICANS OUT THERE.

WE EXIST

WE RESIST

WE RISE 🪶🤎✊🏾🏞🌅🐎🦅

This is so sad. It hurt the worst to see the big reservation in Oklahoma practically vanish.

I do refuse to lump Thanksgiving in with this, though, for two reasons. The first reason is that it was established as a national holiday by Abraham Lincoln after the Civil War, and he wanted people to focus on thankfulness and forgiveness after a bloody and terrible war between brothers. Focusing on what we have that we can be thankful for is so good and important and HEALING (something the nation sorely needed, and still needs today when so many people feel isolated and entitled and don’t understand the healing power of a mindset of gratitude.)

The other reason is that if the pilgrim/native american story is true, it is beautiful. Wait, here me out! First, it happened BEFORE all of the stuff on the map; this one colony likely did not act as enemies to the native people, or the story would likely not have happened. No race is inherently more evil than another, and believing that every white colonizer treated native americans as subhuman is no less racist than believing every native american was a violent savage. But more importantly, it was an act of kindness and selflessness between strangers. Those pilgrims and native americans were just people, and some of those people saw other people fom a completely different nation and culture who were starving, and they chose to give and to help instead of leaving them to suffer.

Whether or not one pilgrim colony stayed alive or died out, that map would have still happened. People with malicious intent would still come. But both these groups of people chose love and sharing and thankfulness. People choosing to give of themselves, and people expressing gratitude and kindness in return, is worth remembering, and I believe that should not be dismissed because of descendants of one or both groups who lost sight of what is important and chose hate.

I ask that people reconsider hating Thanksgiving due to this story. Even if you can’t condone the story itself, the meaning of Thanksgiving is good and important: Take a day to remember the good things in life. Remember what you have, no matter how little it seems or how bad other things are right now. Remember those you love and who love you. And give thanks for them.
