Native American Heritage Day

National Native American Heritage Day is observed on November 26, a day after Thanksgiving. American Indians are accorded special honor on this day, and their rich cultures, accomplishments, contributions, and heritage are celebrated. The history of America begins with Native Americans, and the bald eagle on the U.S. shield is an Iroquois symbol. On this day, we can enjoy displays of their cultural fashion and unique recipes and speak out against the grave injustices they have experienced.

History of Native American Heritage Day

Dr. Arthur C. Parker of the Seneca nation first protested for National Native American Heritage Day between 1912 and 1915. At first, he was fighting for an “American Indian Day” to be recognized within the Boy Scouts of America. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed into law the legislation introduced by Congressman Joe Baca, to designate the day after Thanksgiving as American Indian Heritage Day. The law was established on November 28 as a day to pay respects to the Native Americans for their numerous contributions to the United States. The American Indian Heritage Day was supported by the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) and 184 federally recognized tribes.

The Native American Heritage Day encourages Americans of all backgrounds to appreciate the indigenous cultures appropriately, with ceremonies and activities. Schools are also encouraged to enhance their students’ awareness of Native Americans by providing classroom activities focused on their history, contributions, and achievements.

The United States House of Representatives initially passed the Native American Heritage Day Act of 2009, with technical adjustments made by a collective consent in the United States Senate. The House of Representatives unanimously voted to pass the legislation again, including the Senate’s adjustments. The legislation was then signed into public law by President Barack Obama on October 30, 2009.

Native American Heritage Day and Month is a huge platform for Indigenous people to educate society about their communities. On this day, more than ever, they lead the discourse on culture, celebrate their heritage by donning traditional footwear (“rocking the moccasin”), and shed some light on the diverse tribal communities.

Sinkie Day

Sinkie Day — or Dine Over Your Kitchen Sink Day — is the day after Thanksgiving, which is November 25 this year, and it is especially for those of us to whom leftovers taste much better when eaten over the sink. Imagine that after spending hours cleaning up the house, you want to give yourself a treat, a juicy or crunchy bite that will get crumbs everywhere. Taking it out of the kitchen may not be wise unless you love cleaning. One of the best places to eat that yummy but messy treat is over the sink. And some of us are natural sinkies; it’s just in us. Yes, sinkies are a thing. A ‘sinkie’ is someone who dines over the kitchen sink, grabs a quick bite in the car, drinks milk straight from the carton, or snacks right out of the refrigerator.

History of Sinkie Day

Sinkie Day was founded in 1991 by the International Association of People Who Dine Over the Kitchen Sink (IAPWDOTKS). The aim is to celebrate the tradition of saving precious time by eating while standing over the kitchen sink and donating revenues to charities that help combat world hunger. Norm Hankoff came up with the idea while chowing down some tuna salad over his kitchen sink using potato chips as a spoon. Hankoff’s idea enthralled him so much that he asked everyone around him to join. In March 1994, when Hillary Clinton was looking for an American chef, Hankoff sent a letter suggesting that the Clintons try this alternative dining style. He got a favorable reply letter from the White House, and Sinkie Day kicked off. The IAPWDOTKS motto is: “Everybody does it. Sinkies proudly admit it.”

Being a sinkie isn’t something to be ashamed of. The sinkie attitude is about de-stressing and having fun with food without worrying about the mess it’ll make. As a sinkie, you don’t have to go through the tiring routine of getting a table set and ready. It makes so much sense that Sinkie Day is a day after Thanksgiving because there are always leftovers of food, snacks, and desserts from Thanksgiving dinner. We understand how much work gets put into Thanksgiving Day, so we observe this holiday designated for snacking over the kitchen sink right after it. All we truly need is the kitchen sink to lean over and chow down while crumbs and food juices fall in the sink for effortless cleanup.

Sinkie Day coincides with Black Friday and the rush to get the best deals on items we’ve had our eyes on for months. In a rush, we may forget to eat or deliberately skip meals for later. Sinkie Day is the perfect excuse to indulge in thanksgiving leftovers or fresh treats. We don’t need to explain why we’re eating over the sink, or drinking out of the carton, on this particular day. The Day after Thanksgiving is for munching anything, anytime, anywhere, with no plate.

Sinkie Day FAQs

What kind of kitchen sink is easiest to keep clean?

Porcelain and ceramic sinks are non-porous, and they have a high gloss finish that makes them resistant to stain. Compared to other sink options, they are easier to keep clean using everyday cleaning products.

Should I leave food in the sink?

While eating over the sink, once your food or snack falls into it, it is time to throw it away. Eating food that has touched the sink can cause food poisoning as even the cleanest sink may have some bacteria.

What do you eat when you're lazy?

Stir fry is always a winner when you don’t want to put too much effort into meal preparation. It is quick and easy to make and works well with leftovers as ingredients.

How To Celebrate Sinkie Day

Eat like a true sinkie

Experiment with Thanksgiving leftovers

Discover other sinkies

Enjoy those over-the-sink treats like a legit sinkie. Eat food, fruits, cookies, anything covered in sauce. Start with a jam donut for breakfast while hurrying out the door, a desk lunch of snacks and soda from the office vending machine, then grab takeout dinner to eat over your dashboard on your way back home, and end it all with a midnight slurp of carton milk in front of the open fridge. Follow this itinerary, and you’ll be a certified sinkie by nightfall.

Sinkie Day might just be an excellent opportunity for your inner chef to get creative with leftovers and produce a brand new dish. Share your creation with family and friends, and maybe your recipe could get famous.

Are there other sinkies among you? Maybe your friends love the on-the-go sinkie lifestyle, or some family member chows breakfast down during that morning rush. Sinkie Day is a day to help them realize their identity, appreciate them, and for them to truly enjoy the lifestyle without feeling guilty.

5 Jaw-dropping Facts About Eating Over The Sink

Eating while standing or walking may burn calories.

No need to set the table or do the dishes after eating with this lifestyle.

We are less likely to waste food, but instead, tend to bite and suck every little bit of it when it's over the sink.

Why We Love National Sinkie Day

It's a special day for our leftovers

We have an excuse to eat carefreely

Varieties of yummy food to choose from

This special day is for those laidback conversations in the family kitchen we all wish we could have more of, munching leftover meals with our loved ones. It’s a good opportunity to strengthen family bonds while putting leftovers to good use.

On Sinkie Day, indulging in creamy, sloppy, or crunchy foods is encouraged. We get to pack on the calories, slurp, suck and nibble our food without judgment.

With a yummy selection of food from the fridge, Sinkie Day is just the best day to have fun eating. So have fun eating!

you didn’t plan on spending your thanksgiving like this. sitting on the kitchen counter having a messy make out session with haechan, your legs wrapped his waist, while he pulled down the thin straps of your nightgown. your friend, haechan, had came over earlier than you expected and between keeping the food warm, getting the drinks ready, and setting out plates and utensils, you didn’t have time to change out of your sleepwear. which was why you opened the door for haechan with your silk slip nightgown still on. and despite thinking his mind was playing tricks on him, he wasted no time in taking it all in; the way the pretty golden color of the gown perfectly complemented your brown skin, how the plunging neckline was trimmed with lace and how it was so short that it didn’t leave much to the imagination. and you didn’t mind the way he looked at you, with eyes full of lust. one thing led to another and that’s why you’re currently on top of the kitchen counter, head thrown back, leaning back on one hand while your other hand is tangled in your friend’s hair while he sucks your nipple.

he lets go of your tit to come up and kiss you again and you mumble against his lips that there’s no need for more foreplay, you’re wet enough and how everyone else will be here in less than an hour. but haechan is hardheaded, he goes back to playing with your nipples, but this time he dips his hand inside panties just to see if you’re really as wet as you say you are, but he doesn’t get the chance. you unwrap your legs from around his waist, pushing him so he’ll step back a little. he watches as you lean back on one hand again, spreading your legs wide and moving your hand down to your panties, pulling them to the side to show him your glistening cunt. asking him if he want it or not and showing him what he could miss out on if he keeps fucking around. and with that, he wastes no time in picking you up off the counter and carrying you to your bedroom to get a taste of what he’s been yearning for.
