Having spent most of this year researching the Northeastern Indigenous nations, it’s been difficult to look at Independence Day and now Thanksgiving the same way.
It’s hard to celebrate how badly history has treated America’s original land owners.
You know what these post-election Republican gaffes and turnovers feel like? That point toward the end of a feel-good movie when there’s a voiced-over montage of the bad guys getting caught and going to jail to an upbeat soundtrack.
