Description: What did Native Americans contribute to modern, contemporary society? How does one even begin to know what is inaccurate or even offensive? What do we actually know about Thanksgiving and Columbus Day, and then how can we grapple with the oppression surrounding these national holidays? This workshop will begin to answer these questions. It also addresses general information about Native American identity, culture, and history, alongside more specific information about Columbus Day (Arawak/Taino) and Thanksgiving (Wampanoag).
