Thursday, November 14: Decolonize Thanksgiving
Information Table - Visit this display in the HSS lobby between 10:00
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Stories told about the first Thanksgiving often
perpetuate harmful stereotypes and racism. Decolonize your Thanksgiving to
go beyond the harmful "pilgrims and Indians" narrative and focus
on common values: generosity, gratitude, community, and good food.
November is National Native American
Heritage Month! In celebration, the Native
American Awareness Council (NAAC) will be hosting events of interest
next week, November 12-15. All are open to the entire IUP community.
For further information about these
events or the Native American Awareness Council, please contact chairperson
Abigail Adams at 724-357-3932 or aadams@iup.edu.
