How it really went down in Plymouth

300 years ago.
“No centuries-long continuity emerged from that 1621 meet-up. New Englanders certainly celebrated Thanksgivings—often in both fall and spring—but they were of the fasting-and-prayer variety. Notable examples took place in 1637 and 1676, following bloody victories over Native people. To mark the second occasion, the Plymouth men mounted the head of Ousamequin’s son Pumetacom above their town on a pike, where it remained for two decades, while his dismembered and unburied body decomposed.”

But that's the point, no one and I mean not a single person has bashed Thanksgiving or suggest it be renamed. Trump just made that up, it didn't hapeen.
But he makes things up like that to rally his base. Feed them red meat. And they go for it every single time.
The fact that Trump is a pathological liar means nothing to his supporters.

I give thanks everyday, I celebrate Christ's birth...

everyday. As far as I'm concerned both are pagan holidays but I see great value in both and I have no condemnation for anyone who celebrates them.
It's difficult for me to think there is a special day to give thanks because it's so easy to do it all day everyday. The same with Christ's birth.
Imo, both are important so people can have a time to spend with family, that makes them special and that's worth giving thanks.

grandmother discussing this very subject. My GF was remorsing about the fighting which resulted in America being founded and my GM consoled him by saying her people shouldn't have been occupying the whitemans' land before he even got here.
When I tried to take sides they let me know I wouldn't be here without their union. Would you?

The opening paragraphs certainly don’t portray an objective scholarly

work by the author. But that’s as far as I got. Lamenting sexy Indian costumes for Halloween is pretty weak sauce to find its way to The New Yorker.
But I’ll read the full article.
In the meantime, curious about this...
“More wearisome is the annual fight over the legacy of Christopher Columbus—a bold explorer dear to Italian-American communities, but someone who brought to this continent forms of slavery that would devastate indigenous populations for centuries. “
What forms of slavery did CC bring that were different than NA slavery? Or was there no slavery on the continent before CC? How much did Europeans enslave Native Americans?
