Thanksgiving 2.0: Inspired by Standing Rock
"Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children."鈥擲itting Bull
In coordination with the Standing Rock Water Protectors School, CDE (formerly BoulderTalks) executive committee members Prof. Pezzullo and Prof. Naputi created an online toolkit to help parents, educators, and advocates talk with children about the Dakota Access Pipeline controversy, in order to make Thanksgiving relevant to contemporary events and honor the best of the holiday.

CDE hopes more parents and educators will expand the resources, which are meant as a springboard for education and activities with youth to foster dialogue about Standing Rock and the meaning of Thanksgiving.
