Please join us at the Children’s Diversity & Justice Library on Saturday November 22 for an opportunity to thoughtfully engage with Thanksgiving.
At 10:30am in the CDJL we will share at least three stories written by Native authors and centering the voices of Native Nations and Indigenous Peoples to help us rethink what we’ve been told and taught about Thanksgiving. Storytime starts at 1:00pm and runs for approximately 30 minutes.
After storytime you will have the chance to participate in some activities such as exploring the Native Land Digital interactive online map to learn about who's land we are inhabiting, decorating land acknowledgement table tents for your Thanksgiving table and creating thank you notes for anyone who has helped you.
If you can’t join us in person, enjoy these resources for books to read with kids and resources for how to engage with the themes of Thanksgiving, including some great educational material for us adults: https://cdjlibrary.org/news/2025/11/14/rethinking-traditional-thanksgiving-centering-native-american-voices-with-events-and-resources
