AceShowbiz - Actress Shailene Woodley has always been showing her support for Native American communities and that unsurprisingly makes her against celebrating Thanksgiving. In addition to joining solidarity to block the North Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota that led to her arrest back in October 2016, the actress doesn't hesitate to publicly denounce the holiday in interviews in attempt to boycott the national holiday.
Speaking to TYT Politics, the actress said, "Thanksgiving was founded on a massacre. From the time we're little kids, we cut out cardboard paper pictures of pilgrims and feasts and turkeys, and yet none of our children know the truth about not only what happened to Native Americans when Westerners decided to colonize this country, but what is still happening to Native Americans."
