#TBT: Mourning, Remembrance, Celebration, and Giving Thanks

It's #ThrowbackThanksgivingThursday at The NDN Silver Blog, and today, there are no featured items, just a meditation on the day. We're often asked about whether we celebrate it, and how. I deconstruct the frame a bit and put it into our context: one of mourning, of remembrance, of celebration, and, yes, of thanksgiving.

Perhaps it will explain how we approach this day, and help non-Indians to understand it a little better. Shares are welcomed.
