Event Description

For this event we will be featuring two books: The Circle of Thanks: Native American Poems and Songs of Thanksgiving by Joseph Bruchac (Abenaki) with pictures by Murv Jacob (Cherokee), and Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story by Danielle Greendeer (Mashpee Wampanoag), Anthony Perry (Chickasaw), Alexis Bunten (Aleut/Yup’ik), illustrated by Gary Meeches, Sr. (Anishinaabe).

The Circle of Thanks book features poems with themes of thanksgiving and appreciation of nature, based in part on traditional Native songs and prayers.

Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story is an important picture book that tells the Thanksgiving story from the perspective of the Wampanoag people; two kids from the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe learn the story of Weeâchumun’s (corn) and the “first” Thanksgiving.

Our reader will be Jeremy Felipe, from the pueblos of Acoma (Áakʼu) and Jemez (Walatowa)

For our craft, we will be creating Gratitude wreaths.
