Ahead of the Day of Mourning, and in response to colonial mythology about early Thanksgivings, we recommend learning about Metacomet’s War, an ambitious early effort to resist the colonial conquest of what came to be called North America.

Rather than conceiving of history as the inexorable unfolding of a Eurocentric notion of progress, we understand it as an endless interplay of contingencies and possibilities, a story that is never really concluded.

Metacomet’s War

Why we observe Thanksgiving as a day of mourning: the story of an ambitious effort to resist the colonial conquest of the so-called Americas.
