A time for gratitude, gathering and giving thanks. 

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in America meant to celebrate the togetherness in our country and remember the true history of oppression and bloodshed that underlies the relationship between the Europeans and Native Americans. Celebrations began in the 1620s after the Plymouth colonists from England and the Native American Wampanoag people shared a harvest feast. It wasn’t until 1863, amid the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday meant to be celebrated annually.
