VIDEO: IT’S (NOT) ABOUT THANKSGIVING


VIDEO: IT’S (NOT) ABOUT THANKSGIVING


Print

Many of us in the United States remember the paper Pilgrim hats and grade school
celebrations of the “First Thanksgiving” from our yesteryears. We may also
remember singing about the “colors of the wind” and, eventually, as we got
older, touching on the complicated realities of the past and present. But the
history of Indigenous peoples in North America is so much richer, deeper, and
more complex than a blip in the curriculum or a Disney movie that didn’t quite
hit the mark.

Thankfully, we have Native American Heritage Month to celebrate and better
understand the history of the over 570 federally recognized tribes of Indigenous
peoples in the United States and beyond.

The Origins of the Month
After President George H. W. Bush’s proclamation of November as “National
American Indian Heritage Month” in 1990, President Obama designated the day
after Thanksgiving each year as Native American Heritage Day in 2009, stating,
“The Indigenous peoples of North America—the First Americans—have woven rich and
diverse threads into the tapestry of our Nation’s heritage.”

Watch: Presented by NowThis News, Wade M. Adakai and Antonio Ramirez discuss the
origins of Native American Heritage Month, its road to official recognition, the
importance of the language used within the bills, and what Indigenous and
non-Indigenous people can do to mark the occasion.

Why Celebrating the Month is Vital
The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) states that “This month is a
time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to
acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. [It’s] also an
opportune time to educate the general public about tribes, to raise general
awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically
and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer
these challenges.”

Self-taught mapmaker Aaron Carapella of Warner, Oklahoma, creates maps of the
United States and Canada depicting the original names and locations of over 600
tribes prior to their first contact with European settlers. Now in his forties,
Carapella became inspired to begin mapping tribal locations when, as a teenager
with Cherokee heritage, he was unable to find maps like this one, presented by
NPR.

Consider This: Language matters. It impacts our understanding of the world and
how we interact with others. It’s also an essential aspect of culture and
history. For instance, while the National PTA reminds us that there are around
150 Native American languages in the United States and Canada, many indigenous
people were not allowed to use their own languages. In fact, from the 1800s
through the 1960s, the Bureau of Indian Affairs forced thousands of Native
Americans into English-only government boarding schools where children were
punished for speaking native languages. As adults, they cautioned their own
children to speak English only as protection.
