Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks but for many the problematic history of the creation of this holiday casts a shadow on what Thanksgiving is supposed to represent.  On Thanksgiving morning, on KBOO, we bring you Indigenous voices on a Colonial Holiday. 

Tune in from 8:00AM to Noon for a series of special public affairs programs including a conversation with local activist and founding member of Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotery, Jacqueline Keeler. We will also hear the voices of Dr. David Lewis and Dr. Michael Yellow Bird. We'll talk about history, politics, education, food and how to decolonize Thanksgiving!

Hosted and Produced by Paul Roland and Delphine Criscenzo
