As you gather to 🙏🏽 GIVE THANKS today, consider these words shared by Erin Phelps, a member of the the Lumbee and the Waccamaw Siouan tribes that dwell in southeastern North Carolina. 🍁 “Let’s strive to create a common memory together…Who do you hear? Who is missing in your circle? Whose stories are left untold? For a community to form, there must be context and understanding where one comes from. For that, the whole community must be present.”Read her story and take a look at her suggested resources at brownicity.com/blog/thanksgiving-table-common-memory-native-americans/.#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #nativeamerican #nativevoices #native #IndigenousPeoplesMonth #indigenous #indigenouspeople #diversity #diversitymatters #antiracism #antiracismeducation #learning #learn2learn #unlearn #unlearning #unlearnandrelearn #historymatters #environmentaljustice #conservation #landback #landackowledgement #landsetting #thanksgiving ...
