The holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated every year in Canada as a way to give gratitude for the blessings of the previous years. However, the majority of us are unaware of what this holiday means for Canada's First Nations. In fact, for them, Thanksgiving serves as a harmful reminder of the ways in which their territory was stolen during European colonization, while also reminding them of all of their people who were killed, as well as how they were refused the right to freely practice their culture.
