Thanksgiving - *Sigh*

[TBA]

I have no known Native ancestry.

After I read "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" I had sworn off Thanksgiving.

I would like to hear from those that are Indigenous how they feel about the holiday.

Thank in advance...

1. Thanks for mentioning this book.

I may put it on my Christmas list.

2. It is hard to read.

Those quaintly depicted Colonists were genocidal terrorist. ISIS has NOTHING on them.

And after they annihilated a Native community, they would hold a feast of thanksgiving, likely eating the stolen food of the dead natives.

This scenario was repeated up and down the east coast. They would have likely failed at establishing the early colonies were it not for the ransacking of Native towns for food, supplies and land to cultivate.

That’s my take after reading the book.
