Thanksgiving is Colonial and Genocidal

We start with a short story from our co-host Jesse Strauss: Thanksgiving in the year 2223 in Israel celebrates the colonial promise of the complete settling of the land of Palestine. 

Then, as we acknowledge today’s colonial Thanksgiving holiday, we spend the morning with a member of the tribe that is depicted in the Pilgrim and Indian mythology of Thanksgiving. Hartman Deetz is a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and has been a cultural steward of his people through language, material and performing arts. We’ll talk with him about the meaning of Thanksgiving to the Wampanoag people, and we’ll get his re-telling of the Thanksgiving story.

This week’s Resistance in Residence artist is a duo from the youth organizing group 67 Sueños.
