Giving Thanks (2024)

In 2011 we felt so tired of the Thanksgiving narrative & normalization of this day that celebrates invasion and genocide that we started an intentional practice of celebrating Indigenous resistance & resilience.

So now every year, wherever we are, we take time to remember that despite all of the horrors of colonialism & imperialism that indigenous peoples are still here. Still living, still breathing & still loving. We offer these images to fight against erasure, invisibility & the violence of forgetting.

Giving thanks to all the community that has come out for Palestine in the past year, to make sure people know that…From Turtle Island to Palestine we all will be free! We demand Land Back from all settler colonial project that has stolen our ancestral land.

Over the past year and two months, since the Israeli war on Palestinian Civilians in Gaza began, we have been witness to a horrific genocide on social media as people on the ground have broadcast to the world what is happening to them. The West has chosen to ignore the atrocities and provide cover for Israel, still we stand in solidarity with Palestinians and hope that all people who are fighting to take back their traditional lands will have their Land Back.

On the streets around the world we have seen millions of people stand up for Palestine, demanding not just a ceasefire, but an end to the terror that the illegitimate nation state of Israel wages on the Palestinian civilian population.

As artists we chose to stand with the Palestinian community and will continue to chant: From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free. #FreePalestine #GazaLives #LandBack #XicanxPalestinianSolidarity
