ThangsTaken: Rethinking Thanksgiving

Our annual event challenges and reshapes the colonial “thanksgiving” narrative by celebrating native resistance through art, music, dance, ancestral knowledge, and oral storytelling. We will have a powerful lineup of cultural bearers, activists and allies advocating for land rematriation and Indigenous sovereignty locally, nationally, and globally! Please come join us.
