The Story of the First Thanksgiving

  • Kitsap Unitarian Universal Fellowship 4418 Perry Avenue Northeast Bremerton, WA, 98310 United States (map)

This Sunday we will deconstruct the myth of the “first Thanksgiving”. Created by Abraham Lincoln, Thanksgiving as a national holiday was meant to unite America after the Civil War. But it has become a Day of Mourning for many indigenous communities. Let us gather together and engage with the season by opening our hearts to the grief that accompanies this season of gratitude.
