National
Day of Mourning
"Since
1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill
in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. Thanksgiving
holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate
the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers.
To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions
of their people, the theft of their lands,
and the relentless assault on their culture..."
