35 #7 Home >> ALABAMA Poarch Creek Indians Originally held as a homecoming for tribal members in 1971, the Poarch Creek Indian Pow Wow has evolved into a cultural festival attracting approximately 10,000 visitors yearly. The Poarch Creek Indians decided on Thanksgiving Day as the annual date to hold their Pow Wow and also to include visitors from other tribes and from among the public, giving rise to the Pow Wow's current official title: Poarch Creek Indian Thanksgiving Homecoming and Inter-tribal Pow Wow. During the 1980s, the Pow Wow was extended to a two-day festival and now encompasses the Friday after Thanksgiving. The present site of the gathering is on land originally inhabited by this Native American tribe for thousands of years. Performances of ancestral dancers in authentic dress are at the core of the festival. American Indian music and dance shows continue throughout the two days. These exhibition dances help visitors understand the meaning of the dances, and the significance of the dancers' costumes and accessories. Competition dancing in four age categories, each with a male and female division, is also a large part of the Pow Wow. During the Pow Wow, a Poarch Creek Indian Princess is crowned. Collectors can find a variety of handmade Indian crafts, including beadwork, basketry, quilts and silverwork for purchase. The crowd delights in the old-fashioned greased pig event and turkey shoot. Other events vary from year to year, but have included a petting zoo and pony rides. Food offerings include corn and barbecue roasted over oak wood fires, Indian tacos and fry bread, and traditional turkey and dressing, ham and fried chicken dinners provided by local churches. As the only Federally recognized tribe in Alabama, receiving this status in 1985, the Poarch Creek Indians feel the responsibility of representing their state and themselves as a living, growing culture. Project is documented with text, 18 8 x 10 color photographs, newspaper clippings and magazine articles, a packet with an overview of the tribe, a postcard from the 1995 Pow Wow, a promotional brochure, a program from the 1998 Pow Wow, and a map showing the location of the Poarch Creek tribe in Alabama.

Hale to Abraham Lincoln, Monday, September 28, 1863 (Thanksgiving) Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress. Transcribed and Annotated by the Lincoln Studies Center, Knox College. Galesburg, Illinois. Sarah J. Hale to Abraham Lincoln, Monday, September 28, 1863 (Thanksgiving) From Sarah J. Hale to Abraham Lincoln 1, September 28, 1863 Private Philadelphia, Sept. 28th Sir.-- Permit me, as Editress of the "Lady's Book", to request a few minutes of your precious time, while laying before you a subject of deep interest to myself and -- as I trust -- even to the President of our Republic, of some importance. This subject is to have the day of our annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival. You may have observed that, for some years past, there has been an increasing interest felt in our land to have the Thanksgiving held on the same day, in all the States; it now needs National recognition and authoritive fixation, only, to become permanently, an American custom and institution. Enclosed are three papers (being printed these are easily read) which will make the idea and its progress clear and show also the popularity of the plan. For the last fifteen years I have set forth this idea in the "Lady's Book", and placed the papers before the Governors of all the States and Territories -- also I have sent these to our Ministers abroad, and our Missionaries to the heathen -- and commanders in the Navy. From the recipients I have received, uniformly the most kind approval. Two of these letters, one from Governor (now General) Banks and one from Governor Morgan 2 are enclosed; both gentlemen as you will see, have nobly aided to bring about the desired Thanksgiving Union. But I find there are obstacles not possible to be overcome without legislative aid -- that each State should, by statute, make it obligatory on the Governor to appoint the last Thursday of November, annually, as Thanksgiving Day; -- or, as this way would require years to be realized, it has ocurred

37 to me that a proclamation from the President of the United States would be the best, surest and most fitting method of National appointment. I have written to my friend, Hon. Wm. H. Seward, and requested him to confer with President Lincoln on this subject As the President of the United States has the power of appointments for the District of Columbia and the Territories; also for the Army and Navy and all American citizens abroad who claim protection from the U. S. Flag -- could he not, with right as well as duty, issue his proclamation for a Day of National Thanksgiving for all the above classes of persons? And would it not be fitting and patriotic for him to appeal to the Governors of all the States, inviting and commending these to unite in issuing proclamations for the last Thursday in November as the Day of Thanksgiving for the people of each State? Thus the great Union Festival of America would be established. Now the purpose of this letter is to entreat President Lincoln to put forth his Proclamation, appointing the last Thursday in November (which falls this year on the 26th) as the National Thanksgiving for all those classes of people who are under the National Government particularly, and commending this Union Thanksgiving to each State Executive: thus, by the noble example and action of the President of the United States, the permanency and unity of our Great American Festival of Thanksgiving would be forever secured. An immediate proclamation would be necessary, so as to reach all the States in season for State appointments, also to anticipate the early appointments by Governors. 3 Excuse the liberty I have taken With profound respect Yrs truly Sarah Josepha Hale, Editress of the "Ladys Book" [Note 1 ID: Sarah J. Hale, a poet and novelist, became editor of the Ladies' Magazine in In 1837 the Ladies' Magazine was sold and became known as the Lady's Book. Hale served as editor of the Lady's Book until During her tenure as editor, Hale made the magazine the most recognized and influential periodical for women. Hale was involved in numerous philanthropic pursuits and used her position as editor to advocate the education of women.] [Note 2 Nathaniel P. Banks and Edwin D.

39 #10 Home >> OREGON Portland's Homowo Festival This harvest celebration of welcoming and thanksgiving originated among the Ga people of Ghana, West Africa. ( Homowo is a Ghanian metaphor for mocking hunger.) As a month-long event in August, the Portland festival begins with children's days camps, where they learn African culture through the arts. The festival finale is a two-day celebration that is held in downtown Portland. More than 8,000 Portland residents and visitors attend this community event, which features Ghanaian, other African, and Caribbean music and dance presentations, storytelling, a children's activity area, a folk arts demonstration area, and other workshops. Dancers Tanya Nicholson and Otu Amoo dancing Bawa onstage at the Homowo Festival, August 21, 1998 Photo: Julie Keefe The festival was founded in 1989 by the Homowo Arts and Cultures organization to share the traditions of Africa and to pass this heritage to new generations. This festival brings people of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds together in a setting of celebration and harmony. Among musical presentations are marimba music from Zimbabwe, steel drums from Trinidad, and the highlife music of West Africa. Ethic foods from Ghana, Ethiopia, Somalia and Jamaica are offered. Merchants' stands display crafts, clothing, artwork, jewelry, and other items from African cultures. During the last day of the festival, a procession is lead by Obo Addy, Homowo artistic director and a master percussionist, and members of his traditional Ghanaian music and dance troupe, followed by volunteers who portray the Ga King and Queen of the Warriors, the royal families of the Ashanti and the Dagomba, and the Ewe high priest. After the procession, traditional Ghanaian songs and dances from different cultural groups are performed. Documentation includes a text report, a slide, 10 photographs, a newspaper article, programs, brochures, and a poster. Originally submitted by: Ron Wyden,Senator.

The first territorial thanks day was marked by ringing bells at sunrise and sunset of the twenty-sixth. Special morning services were held in the churches. In the evening a "magnificent ball" was held in St. Paul at Mazourka Hall which a short time before had been equipped with "transparencies, paintings, pictures, and chandeliers in a style of superb elegance." Our first Thanksgiving found a sparsely settled territory including all of what is now the State of Minnesota plus the Dakotas as far west as the Missouri River. The nine counties of the territory counted only a few more than 6,000 people. St. Paul was a frontier village with about 225 dwellings, while St. Anthony boasted only 115.

Hanson, Glenn, ed. CREATED/PUBLISHED St. Paul, North Central Pub. Co., SUMMARY This collection of brief first-person descriptions and anecdotes chronicles how Christmas, New Year's, and Thanksgiving were celebrated in nineteenth-century Minnesota. The materials are drawn from documents at the Minnesota Historical Society, and many have appeared before in print. They range from Zebulon Pike's journal entries for December 25, 1805 and January 1, 1806 (which mention extra rations and presents for members of his expedition) to translated excerpts from the Swedish writer's Hugo Nisbeth's travel narrative, Two Years in America ( ). Most of these accounts date from the middle of the century. Topics include a community Christmas celebrated in the schoolhouse; New Year's open houses; Christmas in early Minneapolis, Winona, and Fort Snelling; Christmas customs adapted by Native Americans; and a Thanksgiving feast.
