For 50 years the Native Americans have celebrated the Day of Mourning on the 4th Thursday of November while the other nationalities in the US celebrate Thanksgiving Day. This year, WebEnglish.se has added a new Thanksgiving Theme Page for level B1 that teaches the truth and the Native American side of the history of the Thanksgiving celebrations.
For the sake of the traditional holiday, the Theme Pages for the lower language levels are still mainly aligned with the traditional story of Thanksgiving as it has been told since the 19th century. As people’s awareness grows year after year, I hope to find suitable materials about the Day of Mourning even for the younger students.
These are the relevant pages for teaching about Thanksgiving Day / Day of Mourning in WebEnglish.se:
