National Day of Mourning 2023 Highlights
Since 1970, Indigenous people & their allies annually gather on Cole's Hill in Plymouth, MA to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native American peoples do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims & other European settlers. In fact, the settler colonial Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native American peoples, the theft of Indigenous traditional homelands, and the erasure of Native American cultures. Participants in the annual National Day of Mourning honor Indigenous peoples’ ancestors, Native American resilience and resistance, and our vitality and adaptability for survival. It is also a day of remembrance and spiritual connection, as well as a protest against violent forms of settler colonialism, racism, and oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience worldwide or across Mother Earth. Today, on American Indian Airwaves, we bring highlights from Indigenous peoples across Mother Earth who spoke at the 54th Annual National Day of Mourning, on November 23, 2023, at colonially what is known as: Cole's Hill (above Plymouth Rock), Plymouth, MA.
