National Day of Mourning
Nov. 28, 2002
The 33rd annual National Day of Mourning will begin at noon
on Nov. 28 in Plymouth, Mass.
A progressive tradition, the Day of Mourning is a solemn day
of Native protest. At the Day of Mourning, Indigenous peoples
from throughout the Americas speak of the history of their
peoples and of current conditions faced by Native people. Day
of Mourning is a day when Native people mourn their ancestors
and the genocide of their peoples and the theft of their lands.
They feel their strength in political action by marching
through the streets of Plymouth and exposing the true history
of the Pilgrim invasion.
National Day of Mourning will once again be dedicated to
Native political prisoner Leonard Peltier.
Native and non-Native people are welcome to attend. For more
