This weekend would be a great time to watch “Truth, Trust, and Harvest” written by Gwich’in writer @princessdaazhraii.bsky.social , and “Thanks-for-Giving” by myself, Tlingit/Dena’ina writer Vera Starbard. I’d love to know what you get from them! You can watch for free on the PBS KIDS app (linked)

@princessdaazhraii.bsky.social really tackled a #Wampanoag voice in the holiday as well as how our foods feed our values as much as our bodies. I tackled some of the history of our own celebrations and traditions being outlawed and the idea of communal grieving.
