‘Plymouth,’ MA, November 24: 47th Annual National Day of Mourning 2016

Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US thanksgiving holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other Europeean settlers. Thanksgiving day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless assault on Native culture. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression that Native Americans continue to experience.

Join us as we dedicate the 47th National Day of Mourning to the #NoDAPL Water Protectors at Standing Rock and to the struggle for recognition of Indigenous Peoples Day. We will have a special message from our brother, Native political prisoner Leonard Peltier, and we will ask everyone to join in calling on President Obama to grant clemency now and free Leonard Peltier.

Help us in our struggle to create a true awareness of Native peoples and demonstrate the unity of Indigenous peoples internationally.
