A NEW EVENT

It's Native American Heritage Month. It's been a long time since I've done an event on here so I thought I'd start organizing one:

Thanksgiving 2021 is November 25th. Since that's a difficult time of the year for a lot of Natives / First Nations people, let's turn it into something worth celebrating.

If you're Native American / First Nations on November 25th, use the hashtag #TAKEBACKTHANKSGIVING on Tumblr, Twitter, TikTok, or any social media platform and post a selfie, art, links to your CashApps/Venmo/Paypal, videos, poems, anything that makes you proud to be Indigenous.

You can submit your favorite movies, actors, activists, Native characters, Native content creators, anything that you feel celebrates and uplifts indigenous people and our voices.

If you are Native and own a shop or online store, advertise it here!

If you would like The Aila Test to add links to articles/documentaries/other sources that detail the horrors of Thanksgiving, let us know. We will set up a tag if you’d like to blacklist it, but I think it would be helpful and healing for everybody if we made this day more about us, our accomplishments, our creation, our pride, and our personal growth and happiness.

If you choose that day to mourn the loss of your family and ancestors, feel free to submit a tribute to them as well. Please know that we love and support you.

See you on Novemeber 25th.
