The long held conventions we associate with Thanksgiving are beloved traditions, particularly in New England, but with them comes an adherence to erroneous, antiquated, and even offensive beliefs about the origins of this holiday. In this presentation, we will disperse the myths and explore the Indigenous concept of 13 thanksgivings, the traditional ceremonies celebrated by tribal communities of Southern New England.
Hosted by Club Member Mark Allio and featuring Silvermoon Mars LaRose, Assistant Director of the Tomaquag Museum and member of the Narragansett Tribe.
Streaming live here on explorers.org, our Facebook Live, and our YouTube Channel – Monday, November 22 at 7:00 pm ET
