Unthanksgiving Day, also known as the Indigenous Peoples Sunrise Ceremony, is an event held on the fourth Thursday of November. It takes place on Alcatraz Island in California. This day is special because it's a time when Native American people and others remember the struggles and history of Indigenous peoples. They gather to celebrate their cultures and call for fairness and respect. It started in 1975 and helps people think about history from a different point of view, not just the happy stories of Thanksgiving, but also the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples.
How to celebrate Unthanksgiving Day?
Gather your family and friends for a special picnic in nature or a park. Bring yummy food and remember to bring a trash bag to clean up afterward. Share stories, play fun games, and make crafts like leaf art or nature bracelets. Talk about things you're grateful for and the importance of caring for nature and others. Plant a small tree or some flowers as a way to give back to the Earth. Sing songs or play music together. End the day by watching the sunset and take a moment to feel thankful for the time spent together.
