X, formerly known as Twitter user writes: A Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member just pulled out the Palestinian flag during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. They tried to cut away but he kept finding the camera. [source: @ harryduboiss] [Brief video description: A Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member appears in the background on the float, among several their fellow Tribe members who are waving to the crowd of people; they hold up a Palestinian flag as high as they can with their arms raised high -hoisting it above their head and maneuvering it around whenever the camera moved.]

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Male turkeys are called “gobblers,”, and females are called “hens”. This is because only males produce the distinct “gobble-gobble” sound that turkeys are known for; this call is used to announce themselves during the mating season and compete with other males.

This Thanksgiving, please consider donating to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, one of only three surviving tribes of the original sixty-nine in the Wampanoag Nation.

indigenous and oppressed people stand with each other. nothing more heartwarming than seeing various indigenous tribes (the mashpee wampanoag tribe in particular) stand with palestine during the macy's parade. the colonized understand one another and stand with each other, and they will never forget.

Abraham Lincoln of "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that" fame called for "Thanksgiving" specifically to celebrate the fruits of the genocide of Indigenous people. Mark Charles, author of Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, has a free book study and lecture on the history of the holiday:

Learning for Justice has an excellent guide for educators:
Teaching about Thanksgiving in a socially responsible way means that educators accept the ethical obligation to provide students with accurate information and to reject traditions that sustain harmful stereotypes about Indigenous peoples. Thankfully, there are excellent online resources that can help educators interested in disrupting the hegemonic Thanksgiving story.
Project Archeology provides links to resources and activities adaptable for all grade levels.
The National Museum of the American Indian offers a comprehensive resource with teacher-facing ideas and activities for grades 4-8.
Plimoth Plantation has a Just for Teachers section that outlines professional development opportunities, workshops, a virtual Thanksgiving field trip and activities that incorporate the Wampanoag perspective. In one interactive activity, kids are detectives figuring out what really happened at the first meal.
The Mashpee/Wampanoag Tribe’s brief history and cultural timeline outlines the nation’s “contact experience” from their contemporary perspective.
Challenging the dominant and inaccurate narrative about Thanksgiving, providing students with a more balanced perspective of this oft-romanticized holiday, and refusing to dress students in feathered headbands are socially responsible actions. They’re actions that every teacher should undertake to benefit their students and the society their students will inherit.

The New England-based Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe issued a statement after an unexpected demonstration involving a Palestinian flag took place on their float during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thanksgiving morning.
In a still image shared by the tribe, someone in the background can be seen holding a small red, black, white, and green flag above their head.
The tribe didn’t identify who held up the flag but made it clear in a statement that they didn’t endorse the actions.
“It’s unfortunate that we are not focused on the beautiful display of our culture and history at the Macy’s Day Parade but rather on the actions of an individual tribal citizen. We want to make it very clear that the Tribe takes no stance on the conflicts overseas,” the statement read.
The tribe added, “Our Tribal Nation remains focused on the issues we face on our ancestral homeland. While we cannot speak for an individual’s actions, his actions were not a Tribal decision. Our governing tribal body, along with the other tribal citizens on the float, were not involved with his actions.”
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, also known as the People of the First Light, has inhabited present day Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years, according to their website.
In 2015, the federal government declared 150 acres of land in Mashpee and 170 acres of land in Taunton as the Tribe’s initial reservation, on which the Tribe can exercise its full tribal sovereignty rights.
The Mashpee tribe currently has approximately 3,200 enrolled citizens.

hey so obviously i agree with supporting the Mashpee Wampanoag but i'm a bit confused where OP of that post got their info from since the Mashpee Wampanoag (and the Aquinnah Wampanoag) are federally recognized? There are, on the other hand, several Wampanoag tribes that aren't recognized by the state or the federal government, such as the Chappaquiddick. Their website is here https:// chappaquiddickwampanoag .org/
Good to know, thank you!

Keep your Thanks: Here’s the justice queer Native Americans really hunger for
The “first Thanksgiving” of 1621 between the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and English Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts wasn’t as friendly as people think. In fact, many Native Americans feel that the occasion marked the start of 400 years of colonization and oppression. Some choose instead to observe the Friday after Thanksgiving as Native American Heritage Day, a day for recognizing Indigenous communities and their contributions to the nation. Many present-day queer and Two-Spirit Native American activists are working to reclaim Indigenous lands, rituals, culture, and mental health. While some public events have begun reciting “land acknowledgments” — defined by NPR as “formal statements recognizing Indigenous communities’ rights to territories seized by colonial powers” — some see such statements as a well-intentioned but empty gesture, while others see them as a necessary first step towards restorative justice. On that road to justice, however, here are some of the political goals sought by Indigenous activists: Related: Watch this adorable gay Native American couple break barriers with a pow wow dance The couple, who met on the pow wow circuit, have performed couples “sweetheart” dances, and are in awe of the warm responses they have received. Legal recognition by federal and state governments Get the Daily Brief The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you: Subscribe to our Newsletter Some tribes were forced into reservation territory and allowed sovereignty to oversee its land, businesses, and governance. But other tribes haven’t been legally recognized at all — something that severely limits tribe members’ ability to claim ancestral lands and receive financial restitution. The federal government didn’t legally recognize the aforementioned Mashpee Wampanoag tribe until 2007, even though the tribe had existed for 12,000 years beforehand. Others continue to fight for legal recognition, even though their existence may already be well documented in historical records. Restoring ancestral lands Many tribes desire sovereignty over the lands that their ancestors once inhabited. This includes the Lakota Sioux, whose ancestors lived in the Black Hills, an area that now contains Mount Rushmore. The tribe oversaw the hills until the U.S. government violated a treaty, massacred their tribe members at Wounded Knee, and then carved the faces of four former U.S. presidents into the mountainside. Predictably, many state and federal governments oppose restoring tribal lands, but it can be done. In 2015, the federal government pledged to restore 300 acres to the aforementioned Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, though former President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior reversed the decision in 2018. In 2009, the Wiyot people of California’s northern coast raised $106,000 to buy 1.5 acres on their ancestral land of Duluwat Island. The Eureka City Council voted to give the tribe 240 additional acres of island that the city had controlled. Around 2020, a United Methodist Church in Ohio also returned some land to the Wyandotte Nation. This restoration can neither completely restore the ecological damage nor the lost relationships the tribes once had to their lands. But for many, it’s an important way to ensure that tribe members have a home and community dedicated to preserving their culture. Preserving Indigenous knowledge Although Indigenous communities only comprise an estimated 5% of the world’s population, they safeguard an estimated 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, according to the World Wildlife Federation. This safeguarding includes centuries-old practices of hunting, agriculture, and preservation that foster a respectful, reciprocal relationship with the land while providing sustainable alternatives to widespread deforestation, fossil fuel use, industrial over-farming, and species’ extinction. These are particularly important considering the increased natural disasters that have… http://dlvr.it/SzHt8r

Trying to explain to a local crank that just because a tribe isn’t federally recognized that doesn’t mean they’re not real, or that they don’t have a legitimate claim to land. Like I am no expert on indigenous affairs but think about it. The state is literally named after them. So they must have existed. The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe wasn’t federally recognized until 2007 (and almost lost that recognition) despite being a group that every child in this country learns about in school.
