Let’s be thankful we have American Indians

Let’s be thankful we have American Indians who can look past the centuries of difficulties and still give thanks….
Tim Giago (Oglala Lakota, 1934–2022), founder of the Native American Journalists Association, sought to reconcile Thanksgiving with Native American fall harvest celebrations. He compares Thanksgiving to “wopila”, a thanks-giving celebration practiced by Native Americans of the Great Plains. He wrote in The Huffington Post: “The idea of a day of Thanksgiving has been a part of the Native American landscape for centuries. The fact that it is also a national holiday for all Americans blends in perfectly with Native American traditions.” He also shares personal anecdotes of Native American families coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Here’s a shout out to my Lakota Sioux friends Who taught me the Sundance…. Spend some time in nature today and give thanks that we have such a beautiful Country
