We also want to acknowledge that some people at Harvard do not celebrate the holiday for personal, religious, or other reasons.
Many see Thanksgiving as a National Day of Mourning rather than thanks, in view of the impact the arrival of Europeans to North America had on Native American land and life.
Others have joined us from cultures that do not celebrate Thanksgiving, or do so on a different day.
Still others may not celebrate with biological family but rather with their chosen family.
However you spend the day, take some time to learn about ways to support the Native community, or spend time helping those in the Cambridge or Greater Boston areas.
