 IS NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING?\n\nAn annual tradition since 1970, Day of 
 Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast 
 from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day. We are 
 mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our 
 lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in 
 action. Over the years, participants in Day of Mourning have buried 
 Plymouth Rock a number of times, boarded the Mayflower replica, and placed 
 ku klux klan sheets on the statue of William Bradford, etc.\n \nWHEN AND 
 WHERE IS DAY OF MOURNING?\n\nThursday, November 26, 2020 (U.S. 
 "thanksgiving" day) at Cole's Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts, 12 noon SHARP. 
 Cole's Hill is the hill above Plymouth Rock in the Plymouth historic 
 waterfront area.\n \nWILL THERE BE A MARCH?\n\nYes, there will be a march 
 through the historic district of Plymouth. Plymouth agreed, as part of the 
 settlement of 10/19/98, that UAINE may march on National Day of Mourning 
 without the need for a permit as long as we give the town advance notice.\n 
 \nPROGRAM\n\nAlthough we very much welcome our non-Native supporters to 
 stand with us, it is a day when only Indigenous people speak about our 
 history and the struggles that are taking place throughout the Americas. 
 Speakers will be by invitation only. This year's NDOM will have 
 livestreaming from Plymouth as well as messages from Indigenous struggles 
 in many homelands! \n\nPlease note that NDOM is not a commercial event, so 
 we ask that people do not sell merchandise or distribute leaflets at the 
 outdoor program. Also, we ask that you do not eat (unless you must do so 
 for medical reasons) at the outdoor speak-out and march out of respect for 
 the participants who are fasting.  Finally, dress for the weather!\n\nIf 
 you cannot get to Plymouth, you can watch online!\n\nDONATIONS: Monetary 
 donations are gratefully accepted to help defray the costs of the day and 
 of UAINE’s many other efforts during the year:

 Please join and check the UAINE facebook group 
 https://www.facebook.com/groups/UAINE for updates on National Day of 
 Mourning this year. Our website uaine.org will be updated, but not as 
 quickly or frequently.\n\nCOVID-19 has hit Indigenous communities very 
 hard, and we want to ensure that no one gets sick from attending National 
 Day of Mourning. Everyone must wear a mask covering their mouth and nose 
 – no 
 exceptions!\n_____________________________________________________________\n
