While the origins of Thanksgiving begin with the 1621 meeting between English colonists and members of the Wampanoag peoples, there is much more to the story. The institution of this holiday in the American calendar has an interesting story that involves both Federal and individual State decisions. This lecture will also include the development of various Thanksgiving traditions and even a bit about the Canadian version of the holiday.

You’re invited to learn from journalist and author Joseph Lee as he chats online with us about his stirring memoir, Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. In it, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. Lee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders, artists, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like. Click here to register.
