We all stand on land celebrated and cared for by First People. What better day to learn more, listen more, and celebrate this sacred work?

Here’s where to start – Go to Native-Land.ca and enter your address to learn who the First People are where you live. Say a word of thanks for their presence, and then take the opportunity to learn a little more about them and their ancestors.

We all (and always) have things to be grateful for, and this day is one to spend in gratitude. But let’s also try to learn and maybe even teach our children a little more about why we celebrate this day in the United States.

One more note of gratitude…To all those who are on call today in hospitals or as first responders, thank you. We see you and are grateful.

“If the only prayer you say in your whole life is  “thank you,” that would suffice.” Meister Eckhart (c. 1230- c. 1328)
