We wanted to feature some of the holidays celebrated in December starting with Hanukkah! Hanukkah commemorates a miracle in which a sacred temple flame burned for 8 days on only one day’s worth of oil. Learn more including recommended accommodations on our religious observances page at ied.unt.edu/religious-observances. How will you be celebrating Hanukkah this year?

Thanksgiving is a reminder of the atrocities of colonization with lasting effects that still impact Indigenous communities today. Remember that decolonization is a process, not a product. For more: queensu.ca/ctl/teaching-support.

Image may contain: text that says 'What is decolonization? Decolonization is related to Indigenous resurgence: Indigenous people reclaiming and restoring their culture, land, language, relationships, health, etc., both independent of and with the support of non-Indigenous people. What is Indigenization? Indigenization moves beyond tokenistic gestures of recognition or inclusion to meaningfully change practices and structures.'
