For the third year in a row, we’re bringing mindful attention to the American holiday on the fourth Thursday of November, commonly known as Thanksgiving. We think (and grieve) together about how Americans talk and think about the holiday and the Indigenous people who Thanksgiving by turn whitewashes or simply ignores. We’re also thinking about ways we might make our own observance with our values.

For the first time ever, we’re releasing this episode early if you want to consider our thoughts as you prepare for your observance.
