A Season of Gratitude: Reflections from Larry Spotted Crow Mann's Book, "The Mourning Road to Thanksgiving"

18 Nov 2025

As we find ourselves in the season of thanks, we’re reminded that gratitude is more than a moment—it’s a way of seeing and honoring the world around us. In his acclaimed book, The Mourning Road to Thanksgiving, Larry Spotted Crow Mann invites readers to look more deeply at this time of year by honoring Indigenous history, acknowledging truth, and embracing the power of healing.

Through storytelling that is both honest and uplifting, Mann reminds us that gratitude is not just a holiday tradition—it’s a practice of compassion and understanding. His work encourages us to reflect on the stories that brought us here and to carry forward a spirit of respect for the communities often overlooked.

This season, we hope his perspective continues to inspire meaningful connections with the people and communities who shape our lives. From all of us at APB, we wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
