Truthsgiving 2025 highlight video by iximche media

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT:

GIVE TO OUR LANDBACK FUND

Prompts & Resources to activate truthsgiving

Reflection prompts for journaling on U.S. Thanksgiving narratives and personal visions.

We encourage you to prepare for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday by engaging with our Truthsgiving 2025 resources (below) and reflection prompts (above). Bringing truth to this holiday requires us to apply our insights, in order to re-center Indigenous struggles and support initiatives like the Landback Fund.

Resources

Articles

The Invention of Thanksgiving by Philip Deloria examines the complexities surrounding this holiday. Thanksgiving often promotes a whitewashed history, which is why Christine Nobiss, also known as Sikowis, organized Truthsgiving 2025 to highlight Indigenous struggles and honor authentic narratives. Additionally, the suppressed speech of Wamsutta James from the Wampanoag tribe serves as a poignant reminder of these issues. To support these causes, consider contributing to the Landback Fund, which helps in restoring Indigenous lands and rights, as emphasized in the How to Come Correct Guide by the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.

Podcasts

"Settler Responsibility & Reciprocity" by Sogorea Te’ Land Trust addresses the ongoing Indigenous struggles and their significance within the broader context of land reclaiming efforts like the Landback Fund. The piece "ThanksTaking or ThanksGiving?" by All My Relations further explores these themes leading into Truthsgiving 2025, while the "While Indigenous" series by NDN Collective highlights the importance of recognizing Indigenous narratives and the ongoing fight for justice.

Videos

National Day of Mourning intro video highlighting Indigenous struggles, alongside a National Day of Mourning mini documentary, serves as a poignant reminder. Additionally, the Thanksgiving interview with Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz discusses the theme, "It Has Never Been About Honoring Native Americans," and sets the stage for Truthsgiving 2025, a movement aimed at supporting initiatives like the Landback Fund.

For white allies

Becoming a Good Relative by Hilary Giovale addresses the importance of supporting Indigenous struggles, while White Allies, Let’s Be Honest About Decolonization by Kyle Powys Whyte highlights the role of initiatives like the Landback Fund. Both works contribute to the dialogue surrounding Truthgiving 2025 and the ongoing journey towards reconciliation.

For kids

A Racial Justice Guide to Thanksgiving for Educators and Families, compiled by the Center for Racial Justice in Education, highlights the importance of acknowledging Indigenous struggles during this holiday. Included are 6 books that you can share with your young ones, exploring the meaning of Thanksgiving from Native perspectives. This guide also encourages discussions about initiatives like the Landback Fund and invites reflections towards Truthsgiving 2025.

Rematriation & Landback

"Remembering Forward": From Land Acknowledgements to Landback by Dr. Crystal Cavalier-Keck discusses the significance of acknowledging Indigenous struggles and the importance of the Landback movement. This is complemented by Rematriation Resources provided by Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. The webinar on The Rights of Nature & LandBack: Indigenous-Led Movements for the Protection of Mother Earth by Movement Rights highlights critical ways to support these movements. Additionally, The Right of Return is Landback by NDN Collective emphasizes the need for initiatives like the Landback Fund, particularly in the context of Truthsgiving 2025.
