In college, one of my Native friends said, "It's the only time of the year everyone remembers we exist."
+Ng Yi-Sheng It's sad, but pretty accurate.
Yea well so many other countries are never remembered any part of the year so boohoo for your friend
And not only countries but races that have ended
+Skipsenter fuck off. Go be a pos somewhere else.
Melissa Lopez-Acosta a pos? Im native american and I'm tired of this channel making us look weak and a minority we dealt with everything that everyone else has
Native Americans are some of the strongest and kindest people I have ever met
Strongest but lost there land :/
Jeeeeesus fucking CHRIST. You people are so incredibly soft, so incredibly fragile, so pathetic, you've been so coddled, and know so little about human nature and the world in general, it's CRAZY to ke
@Epica Unleashed
Why are they soft?
Not these ones, apparently. They don't even know what the 1st Thanksgiving was and they're offended. That's the opposite of strong
@Lotta Lou the fuck does that even mean? Lmao.

+Paul Edwards Your mother really hates you doesn't she? It's obvious.
They say "if you dont know your history, your doomed to repeat it". We seem to be born with these thoughts, but never grow to overcome our past. Docs like these make us feel we're in the same predicament as our ancestors, with no way out. Education is the key to our success as a people. Please parents..your the story teller and your kids are the listeners....
Whose here after watching change my mind? Lol
Me
The comments just point out Crowders original statement, that most people are fed misinformation about the "Native Americans" and the Pilgrims or the "Colonists"....
I also found it odd that most of the people shown in this videos show signs of alcoholism, drug use, and bad self image....Im pretty sure anything you ask of them would be met with a response, filled with negative over-tones.

The last lady is so true, people just blinded by the eating, the celebration, but forgot about the history.
It's valid for other holidays, I think.
Georgina Wu if it wasn't for thanksgiving I would not have known what natives are
Georgina Wu God you’re freaking killing me. No it’s not about eating your problems away. The first thanksgiving was the first American harvest, where puritans and native Americans alike harvested food and had a feast for three days. I don’t think he “racist white people” went on a killing spree and killed a bunch a native Americans. Grow up liberals.
Not a L’cie but that's what actually happened but not right away, it was after thanksgiving, the Native Americans got betrayed after thanksgiving by the pilgrims and without a second to waste new people arrived in boats to build the new America we know today, which in my opinion is a horrible country in all aspects, racism, crime, discrimination and worst of all, strip clubs.
I think Native Americans deserve to have their country back.
Or at least an apology or a day to basically get the respect they deserve, not this fucked up celebration no one really cares about other than Americans themselves.
Native American Holiday would be something!
Danny Verdant ah, you’re one of the people who think racism is supported in America. I myself am a conservative, does that make me racist? Does the fact that I think trump isn’t a racist, racist? No it’s not. America is a place where anyone can build themselves up from nothing, they can become lawyers, doctors, or even entrepreneurs, no matter the gender race or age. Check your facts, America is a great country, with a great president, and a wonderful new member of the Supreme Court.
I remember being in elementary and half the class dressing up as pilgrims and half of the class dressing up as Native Americans and ate candy.. But in reality it is so different. The idea of giving thanks to the people you love and having a holiday for that is awesome. Reteaching history as a happy pilgrims and native americans got together and ate food at a big table isnt.
+RooFooChoo It's only cool if they recreate the scene from Addams Family ;)
+RooFooChoo I would've dressed normally. And said "what? I dressed like a normal native" But that's me being a sarcastic ass
School only teaches you myths, lies, and half truths.
+RooFooChoo ok but it did happen. Like literally search up "history of thanksgiving" and you can see actual historical accounts of a peaceful feast between Massachusetts colonists and local tribes in 1621.
They should've had a fight to the death but one side of the room has knives and the other has sticks
The woman at 1:48 is absolutely beautiful.
+isaac chavez Yea, and I love her accessories. Very beautiful.
+isaac chavez Truth.
+isaac chavez i think she's kinda fat and not so pretty
+eclipse572 "fat"??? lol
I dont think she looks fat but whatever
I think the overarching message here isn't that Thanksgiving is bad (by no means, a lot of theme even said they like the holiday and enjoy spending time with family), however, I do think the point they're trying to make is that we need to change the way it's been taught to children in schools. It was most definitely not a happy feats where Pilgrims and Native Americans ate together.. I just think too many lies are told in our history books when it comes to Native Americans and I don't think it's right.
+Roxana Moraga I agree. A day for "thanks" as a holiday isn't exclusive to the U.S... The sentiment that we should come together and be thankful is a good one, but the way it's taught in school and the whole association with the pilgrims and native american stuff is inaccurate and really hurtful. It seems a lot of the people in the video want to be able to associate it with just the "thanks" and "family" part, but obviously it's not so simple. so unfortunate.
...it was... thanksgiving was celebrated for 9 main reasons, one including a victory in battle where Pilgrims and a local tribe had defended (key word defended) themselves from an attack from an unknown tribe (tribes didn't care who they attacked really).
they were pretty damn happy.
buuuut what do I know?
-Ph.D in American History
+Alex McBrayer ok, point taken, but it doesn't change the fact that kindergarteners in America are being taught myths about native Americans and pilgrims which aren't being cleared up later as we grow up and move into high school. I think that's a huge problem.
Roxana Moraga to be fair, our education system has been and still is in shambles. The sad reality of the fact is, the myth they teach to kindergarteners is more accurate than what they probably would ever teach in schools, being its not "Politically correct", no one wants to hear that the Pilgrams landed during an age of Conquest between tribes which had lasted 5 centuries and killed well over 700 different tribes in Modern day America and Canada.
Though, I do completely agree with you none the less.
While it's a rather long read, I just commented on the video about this kind of thing (and when I say long its pretty damn long I wish it really wasn't that long) I recommend reading it if you have the time or time to kill.
Or even screen shot it to read later (if you have a doctors appointment or something in the future).
Feel free to make any comment (for or against my comment) and as long as you're polite, I'll take the time to accurately and politely reply.
they definitely weren't happy, either group, but the thing is we don't really know what the fuck happened on the event thanksgiving is based on
My understanding of Thanksgiving is that we Indians were celebrating the abundance and we noticed that the pilgrims were without food and so we invited them into our celebration for the abundance of our crops. If you go to Europe and ask them about Thanksgiving they'll have no idea what you are talking about.
Actually it was the pilgrims who invited the natives, it was their way of showing thanks to the Indians for showing them how to grow crops and not starve to death.
I call it Thankstaking.

Credin ANY ONE BORN IN THE AMERICAS IS AMERICAN. EVEN PEOPLE BORN IN MEXICO OR GUATEMALA, AND ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA, ARE AMERICANS. PEOPLE OVER HERE IN THE US JUST HAD THE GUTS TO NAME THEMSELVES AMERICANS. they are right but everyone born from Canada/ Alaska to Argentina is American.
chuy arsenal they are almost all dead, there is legit like 3 full blooded ones or there, all have some form of white or whatever In them.
Most Natives I know, including my family celebrate Thanksgiving as s holiday of family friends and coming together. But in the back of my head from time to time the realization of the suffering of so many people will follow.
I like MJ's song - They don't really care about us. It is a song about loving each other regardless of race or skin color. That's what we should do instead of destroying each other.
Landon Aaron Indeed!
MehhMehh! me fr just forgive each other and help make things right

As a Greek American we celebrate Thanksgiving as a time for family (my culture didn't have Thanksgiving in Greece). This video made me pause for a moment to really think what the true "original" Thanksgiving was about.
Its European American's holiday.
as a native american, please continue celebrating :)
Really?...
I’ll never celebrate something the pale face made :)
@@eboy7773 remain ignorant then
No. As a non-native, I refuse to celebrate a massacre on Native Americans that is being taught to schoolchildren as a romanticized story that tries to paint over the truth.
@@eboy7773 Stop using all of the technology that they invented then.
My family just ate. There was no talk about Pilgrims.
honestly at this point most families dont really celebrate thanksgiving for pilgrims or naties, they more celebrate it as a day to give thanks, watch football and eat
Can't change what happened in the past. So let's enjoy what we can for the future.
Happy Thanksgiving
as a kid I knew all this already and would ask about it in school because it was nowhere in history books and I remember the teachers getting mad an upset. let's just say I am blessed that I had guardians that did not want me blind to the truth and brainwashed at a young age. But my heart goes out to all the people native to this land before anyone else calmed it.
Thanks for letting native people speak up. This is horrible to hear. They're amazing.
im european and super proud of my identity history and ancestry i will not apologize for being better you will not receive reparations we defeated and conquered most of the world back then and we will do so again you will not get a dime out of us we are better than you get over it

honestly thanksgiving now is a way for me to stuff my face without getting judged
I agree whole-heartedly with the woman who described this holiday as "romanticized."
What part of history isn't? Look at all these sick fucks in the comment section saying the Native Americans should be grateful it happened.
I celebrate thanksgiving to celebrate the ancestors we lost not the pilgrims that murdered them we have a open thanksgiving for all my family and tribe members that can make it after dinner we all sit around and listen to the elders storys my grandfather started this years ago and im glad we are still doing it 50+ years later ❤
Celebrate your hero's that fought to defend their nation so the nation they fought for will be always remembered
@@princessresilia6439, I was thinking the same exact thing.
As a mexican american, thanksgiving for me is all about family. No one I know even associates it with native americans or pilgrims.
as a Haitian American this is the same for me
+Ashamanknight that's the problem you should pray and feel sorry for the sacrifices the natives had to make rather than ignoring it.
+Huyen Nguyen You don't necessarily need to pray and feel sorry, but acknowledgement of the truth would be nice.
ilovesparky13 thats my way of acknowledging. i pray.
+Ashamanknight Asian Canadian. It's just an excuse to eat food, man. We even have it on a different day up here in Igloo Land and it's more of a harvest celebration type thing.
I am thankful for people who are strong enough to accept the past for what it was and realise that they are worth it go let it go and move forward.
+kindAhumaNbeinG ....or a Black person. The fact is: You may be through with the past, the past is not through with you. The past will *never* let you go.
+Sarai Castro I am sorry to hear that you have to face such great mental challenges and have difficulties differenciating between the meaning of "for the people who are" and "everyone". Alas, hope you'll get well soon and realise that personality can't be broken down to ones ethnic or religious history. Good luck mate.
+MalcolmRandall ... or to anyone else for that matter. The thing is, we all have horrid things happened to us or our ancestors in the past (yes, even caucasian people who existed before they went to the americas, if you remember). Which is exactly why I am grateful for those who are able to understand that the past might have shaped you, your culture or your group but does not have to be the one thing that determines your future.
Are there people who can't let go, who dwell on horrors their long gone ancestors had to face? Yes, sure there are. Are there people who want to move on and do their best to do so? Hell yeah, sure there are!
One fact does not exclude the other.
Also, it sounds (at least in the statement you've made) that you have a hard time letting your past behind you. Look, no one will ever want you to forget whatever happened, it is a part of you. But being bitchy about it isn't going to make it better, accepting it might.
kindAhumaNbeinG The past leaves traces to the present. Anyone who is attached to the present is actually still attached to the past. If you love learning about your culture, language, family, songs, then all of these will remind you of the past. Unless you completely want to forget everything and embrace the moment for what it is. Then it will be different matter. On society level, we descendants are the ones who need to take care with all the mess left behind by our ancestors. Or maybe it shouldn't matter who your ancestor is, just help each other as a human and living beings. ^^
I wish my great- gran or my grandpa were still alive to tell me about that side of my heritage. And I wish more people would talk about it.
In the first Thanksgiving Native Americans and Pilgrims DID eat happily together... We have documents that write about it...

Okay??? And??? Lmao
I'm a native. And was taught Christopher Columbus found this country until middle school, I finally found it was all wrong. And thought the pilgrims and natives were friendly to each other. That thanksgiving was when they sat down, had a nice meal, together. To find out, it's the opposite.
sasha rose but it's true
native ameircans are nomads from asia. siberia and mongolia. thats where the natives come from. pilgrims sailed away from the netherlands to america to literally slaughter the natives. killing them. raping them. you name it they have done it. and nobody is questioning it. nope its like nothing like this never happened. they literally celebrating the deaths of millions of natives. well millions i dont know. but at least alot. not sure how many people lived back in those days in america. but anyway they literally celebrate a racist slgaughterfest. it was all about white washing america. get rid of the natives. and move on from there. but it seems that NOBODY gives a shit about it.
@@metalvideos1961 finally someone who’s been told the truth ❤️
@@metalvideos1961 The European colonization began with Dum Diversas, a papal decree written in 1452 by Pope Nicholas V. These people have spent TRILLIONS trying to hide their deeper atrocities ever since.
The history books are clearly lying, and the rabbit hole goes way deeper than you possibly imagine. (Genesis 15:13-14, Acts 7:6-7, Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Jeremiah 16:19, Psalm 147:19-20, Numbers 35:33, 1 Nephi, Chapter 13)
Thanksgiving itself is about giving thanks to the Native Americans who helped the pilgrims.
Please make more educational videos like this series with Native Americans 🙏
>guys I'm 1/125th cherokee so I know what's it like
top fucking kek
If you want to celebrate Thanksgiving celebrate it with everyone that way you show the true spirit of America because that includes every American citizen To be united as one American family instead of dividing the nation
I’m thankful for this video. I share it once a year with thousands of people.
It's really sad because the pilgrims were very good with the native Americans. I know that there's a lot of bad blood and the way that Europeans treated native Americans when they came over. However when the pilgrims came over they would not have survived without native Americans and they truly reached out in friendship. Today we all live together in peace.
The thing is that thanksgiving is complex. It can conjure up images of what happened to Native Americans, and there are a lot of rewriting how it was happy, but those Pilgrims didn't just like eat their food and start killing natives. It didn't work like that. It was a specific tribe and Pilgrims from the mayflower eating after starving together. These two groups never turned on each other.
So I think a lot of people try to put the weight of what happened with other colonists and natives onto this event, and it is kinda unfair.
Nope isnot complex, its a history event that can be verified, we even have some names of the participant! Educate your self please
Happy Thanksgiving 😊🦃🇺🇸
Reading all the books in the library at school about the great Indian chiefs when I was in 2nd grade was very eye opening. One cannot miss the common thread in each story. Eventually I realized the law of the jungle, and human nature...
Respecting salute to all the natives
I have Native American blood running through my veins and what I think about Thanksgiving is about getting together with family and friends. Why do we want to live in the past, if we already had learned from it and don't intend to repeat it? Why do we want to live in that past? Why don't we want to go forward and create a family tradition for this holiday? Trying to keep that past fresh is only effecting us not the ones that caused that bad past. Those people are no longer alive. Don't let what they did effect you and make you into someone that you don't want to be. If you can't find anything to be thankful for, be thankful that you didn't live in those times.But like I said--Thanksgiving is about being with family and friends, good food, and yes, football to some of my family members.
having a small drop of "native" in ur blood is not the same as being native american. u dont live their experiences
I am not American. I am from the Caribbean. But I still feel this guilt in my chest for living in the US. I'm so sorry for what they've done to your culture. So sorry.

@@dgrant5968 and every white person that had nothing to do with it should? This is rubbing me the wrong way.
I really enjoy sharing things like this on Facebook and social platforms just to get people to wake up from the lies but they won't and they get angry at me for trying to ruin their holidays. I celebrate none of them not even a birthday.
Growing up as a Wampanoag child, our culture was not as defined as it is NOW ,and we were tough that thanksgiving was a great holiday and that my people were special to be a part of its lore and that our people saved the pilgrims and thought them to survive the harsh winter ,this notion stretched in to adulthood,I wore it like a badge of honor .
Until I was in the military(1994) and stationed in Oklahoma,it was the weekend and I was driving around (nothing else to do)missing back home , just driving down back roads when I came upon a warehouse type building with a lot of cars around it and that all to familiar sounds f drumming..........I stumbled upon a pow wow,my heart and soul soared I parked and made my way to the entrance there were to native men at the door they said that this was sacred and not just anyone could enter,I told them about how I wandered around different roads for hours,and ended up here like it drew me to this place (it was what I desperately needed) I explained that I was Wampanoag from Mashpee Massachusetts,they didn't know what tribe that was,so I told them that we were the people that had thanksgiving with the pilgrims(pulled out my badge) saving them from the harsh winter,one of the man's face got real angry and his body clenched up and said in a harsh way THANKS FOR THAT !!!!!,the other man said welcome brother at that time I really didn't know what to think through out the time i spent there the wheels were spinning in my head what was that man so mad at me ??..............well the light bulb went off,that the way I explained it is that we opened the gates for the flood of europeans to invade native land My shiny badge that I carried with pride got tossed away for good,I found that man again and explained that we experience pain and suffering and the assimilation by the hands of the europeans of that time and apologized for my ignorance.and ended up spending the weekend with them. Hoka !!!
Indians are not gone they are among us stil
Justin Perry
Yes in India you can find a lot of them.
Justin Perry please don't say Indians.. it's disrespectful
Justin Perry Aleut and Comanche strong here thank you for your post
Barely...
It’s native Americans or indigenous
This is amazing, I watched all of these and couldn't help but tear up. As a native living on a reservation, I'd like to say thank you for bringing this to the world. Very seldom are we mentioned or thought of. Just thank you for making this and sharing our struggles. Migwich, it means thank you.
This is sad.. I questioned the reality behind this holiday and it's terrible.. we shouldn't be celebrating this day... It's so commercialized.. I also feel for those who died so brutally. I am originally from Mexico,Michoacan. Same thing happened to my people, the Spanish just came and took as they pleased just different location.
I wasn't raised to celebrate Thanksgiving like this. I was raised to believe it was a day for thanking God for all He's giving us. Yes I know the original story and everything and it's not like I am excluding native Americans in this. I jus consider them Americans that are of native descent that have one hail of a varied beautiful culture. I appreciate their culture every day and the horrid sacrifices their ancestors had to endure and from what I have read and seen in documentaries are still being messed over. And by just celebrating that as day for thanking God for all He's done I am meaning no disrespect to native Americans. I might be wrong but it was the way I was raised but I was taught the horrors as well.
As an Asian American, as heartbreaking as it is, I had so many good memories around Thxgiving, and I know that the holiday is based on horrid around Native Americans and stuff
I celebrate Thanksgiving for what it is, not for what it was.
thankyou
+Hannah Matthau You're right, I don't really consider what has happened and what is still happening. Every year Thanksgiving is very special to me, its when I see all I love, all close together. I get so blinded with bliss and happiness I tend to forget how it could have originated. I'll never forget, Hannah. Thank you and give thanks this holiday season.
+ImLoaf I love you as person. I wish more people thought like you.
+Zane Hernandez Dude, I appreciate your input. Didn't want the vibration that I insulted someone.
Yesss!! same here, I have my own idea of what thanksgiving should be, because the truth is too hard to bear...
One word for this video; necessary.
Honest video. I appreciate the balance. History is a mixed bag. Those that have something to celebrate too often forget those who have so much to mourn.
And those who apathetically try to forget haven't taken the time to have birth sides of the story head-on.
Honor yourself, honor your relations.
The first thanksgiving was truly a moment of peace and friend ship between the first settlers and the Native Americans it was when the other colonies came over to the United States a lot of the negatives started to happen
Quite frankly, there was a First Thanksgiving feast celebrated by the Pilgrims of Plymouth in 1621, which had nothing to do with the terrible events and slaughter between settlers and natives in the coming centuries. It was actually attended by more Native Americans (around 90) than Pilgrims (53 of whom attended). This was a rare moment of peace, happiness and unity before the storm of war and slaughter between these two peoples. I had ancestors on both sides of the conflict and I'm happy to have this "First Thanksgiving" as an example of something better. Something beautiful that could have been.
Bullshit, lies and propaganda
@@nikusingh191 I mean, we have primary sources, so no, not at all. The idea that they were wonderful friends and lived happily ever after is bullshit, lies, and propaganda. Yet this one Thanksgiving where peace reigned for a short time did occur.
@@SageofHistory Ask Red Indians
Thanksgiving is when people come together to celeberate thanks towards people
People are getting the first Thanksgiving in 1621 mixed up with the Pequot massacre that happened in 1637.
The Pequot massacre involved the Puritans,a different group from the Pilgrims,and their Native American allies.

Never knew that Thanksgiving had/has a bad conatation, but at the same time where I come from we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. I feel like, after watching this, learning about the story of the NATIVE AMERICANS.
The first Thanksgiving was actually celebrated on Feb 21, 1621 when a band of starving pilgrims at Plymouth Rock were saved at the last minute by the arrival of a ship from Dublin bearing food from Ireland.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. May your feasts be delicious and your company be loving.
Families were wiped out. Those families can't come together for a family day.

You could connect anything to something bad.
These people have no idea about history, they have no idea that Thanksgiving was declared after the civil war as a holiday to forget division, and to be all inclusive, to give thanks for the blessings we do have and to look at the positive. The reason that day was picked was because in the turbulent history of native warriors and settlers in combat against one another, the first thanks giving was a time where native warriors agreed to peace with the settlers. It isn't about our war against each other, it is about that peace is possible, and we should look at the positive moments in our lives.
The Truth B hmm funny as how the indian act was still in place at that time as if we weren’t people just “indians”
The Truth B what an inclusive holiday!
Stupidest comment goes to......
That peace is possible? Tell that to the racist elderly woman that comes into my store to mock me :’)
As a non Native person I am asking what books you would recommend to get the truth about thanksgiving . Thanks for any help I can get .
Our family celebrates each other, but it's always a sad affair too. The origin is of our loss and genocide.

The ones saying family likely celebrate their family and our survival on that day. When schools, television, and even holiday cards broadcast the Happy Pilgrims And Indians narrative - yes, it IS celebrated in a way it should not be.
yes, americas history is brutal, but most of the people in this video need to get over the past asap. they still moan about a terrible past that they didnt even live in. thats equivalent to people saying germany and its tradition nowadays is bad because of wwii. it was terrible, but ITS OVER, so get over it
100 % approved You do not get to tell me or anyone in this video or any Native how to feel - past considered or otherwise. Because of the past we STILL face mistreatment and hatred. Would you tell a Jewish person to get over what Hitler did when many people still have living family members who experienced his wrath? No. So don't tell us about "history" when you have no idea. It's not over, but we fight so that one day it will be.
+Bridgette Annalyse what exactly are you going through that even compares to the past? Please tell me this plight which is so terrible.
+4 eyed Killer Please actually do your own research. Indian Country Today addresses nearly every issue that Natives face - stories by Native writers. We shouldn't have to repeat ourselves, especially not to people who try to tell us our pain and issues are invalid.
the whole world should watch this
Nah
America, built on the bones of anyone who apposed us. Worth celebrating.
God is not on your side ,trust me,it will all come back to you ,each blood you spilled
@@SRBOMBONICA86 I didn't spill any blood. I saved it all in jars.
fun fact, Turkey DOES NO come from Europe, is actually native to Mexico and te call it guajolote
The first Thanksgiving was actually where native Americans and pilgrims shared turkey, corn and deer meat. It showed that no matter the skin color theirs a chance we can get along with each other. Thanksgiving is awesome!
Be thankful everyday
My former mother in law is Native American grew up on a reservation in the Northwest. She loved Thanksgiving and always made the best pumpkin pies. It's heartbreaking what happened to Native Americans whose land was taken from them. There's no doubt about that But you have a choice...to continue to live in the pain and suffer. And pass that pain and suffering on generation after generation. Then the whole tribe suffers and lives in pain of the past. Or pass on healing and how the people healed and rose above. We don't honor people who died with our suffering. We honor those who came before with how you healed and rose above it. Celebrating Native American Heritage and electing them into office is a wonderful way.
My grandma who was Native American. Grew up on a reservation until the age of 10. Hated Thanksgiving.
the white girls with yellow hair be like : my 1/64 native american blood seeks revenge

Fact: Thanksgiving and Columbus day are the two of, if not, most fucked up holidays in existence.
GOD bless you all i also belive family for this day not the way is painted to look im costa rican and you all are great people much love respect to you.
The actual thanksgiving day took place in 1565, when Florida was part of the spanish empire between the spaniards and the saturiwa tribe to celebrate the victory against the french army.
“Do your people celebrate thanksgiving?”
“We did, once”
I like this video!!! Congrats!!! It's very important to see the other side of things, of HISTORY!!! Because when there's only one person telling the history you missed the whole picture!!! Same goes for slavery, for white people it was a mistake, but ask a black person about it and then you'll get the whole picture, why slavery was way more than just a mistake!!!
when you get this video in class in a nearpod
Turkey is a beautiful living here who suffer the same pain we do. Govegan
@@kawaii33366 Would you eat crows,pigeons,swans,peacocks and other beatiful birds because you saw what animals do?You wouldent use the same argument for killing babies just beceause a lion kills his own cubs,or he rapes females.Let's be honest :)
I am proud to celebrate Thanksgiving
Most of us natives weren't there for the first thanksgiving, so we need to relax a bit. Pining and whining about the past hasn't gotten us anything and won't get us anywhere. All it seems we want to do is stir our pot and complain. Yeah we had it bad for a long time, but who's to say that we're absolutely bound by that past experience, which the vast majority of us weren't around to witness.
To be fair, the events of the past have formed the state of affairs of the future. Sure you shouldn't try to live in the past, but it would be pretty foolish not to acknowledge what led up to current events in the first place.
I didn't think we'd have a lot of mixed responses.
Being descended from both native American and Danish settlers I have to see it from both perspectives, yes what was done to my Indian ancestors was in no way less than genocide and forever must be remembered as such but I can also understand the other side of a people driven from their home countries in desperation for religious and self governing freedoms having to settle in an alien and hostile lands with only hope to guide their actions. Being of both these worlds I also must find a way to heal the past inside my soul, forgive and bring a new beginning ware the essence of what thanks giving was to be about in this day and time ware we come together and settle our differences and age old phobias and hatred to some how birth a future together of prosperity and love for ourselves and others. This is what many of us no matter our race, creed or backgrounds fail to realize that nothing will ever be right or better until we each can lay down the old ego and be open to the evolution of our minds and spirits. The Ranger's prayer comes to mind as a good place to start our true thankfulness.
I'm proud to be an American and love Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving? Bullshit. When I have my kids, I'm going to take Thanksgiving Day as a day to teach my children about Native American culture and the truth.
yeah and make you kids guilty of who they are.
lemony sighs the truth that natives killed eachother and scalped
Love each and everyone of our people we are one our children are ourfuture thanksgiving is celebrated with love
I find these videos rlly interesting...
