Alternative Thanksgiving 2018

Alternative Thanksgiving Celebration is an open alternative event to the Thanksgiving national holiday. This event gives Native American/Indigenous students an opportunity to create/nurture their Ohio State community as they would if they were at home within their tribal communities whether in an urban, reservation or traditional lands space. This is an event where friends and allies will learn about history and traditions of Native American/Indigenous peoples at the time of contact and differing viewpoints. Traditional Indigenous foods will be served.

This year's musical performance is by the Dream Warriors, a collective of artists who believe in pursuing passions, dreams, and gifts to better loved ones and communities while also uplifting others, which will include Tanaya Winder, Tall Paul, Frank Waln and Mic Jordan.
