**WHAT IS NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING?**
An annual tradition since 1970, NDOM is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day with a social after the Day of Mourning program. "**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 NDOM 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.

**WHEN AND WHERE IS DAY OF MOURNING?**
Thursday, November 28, 2024 (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.

**WILL THERE BE A MARCH?**
Yes, 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 NDOM without the need for a permit as long as the town receives advance notice.

**PROGRAM**
Although all are welcome to join, **it is a day when only Indigenous people speak to the history and the struggles that are taking place throughout the Americas**. **Speakers are by invitation only.**

NDOM is not a commercial event, so do not sell merchandise or distribute leaflets at the outdoor program.

All are asked not to 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.

**This is OUTDOORS so dress in layers for the weather!**
Hats, Gloves, Scarves, Warm Socks !
Wear comfortable footwear for the march and standing!

AFTER the march there will be t-shirts and buttons for sale.
Bring cash for that and the blanket dance.

**SOCIAL**
While complementary box lunches will be available and distributed outside, there won't be tables nor chairs on which to dine either inside nor outside.

**Be in solidarity with Indigenous struggles throughout the world!**
