I celebrate Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving celebrates what, when that native american tribe saved the Pilgrim colony from starvation? It's just a time for eating lots of food nowadays, I doubt ALL Indians gave it up.
I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Abraham Lincoln, there is nothing that says we should give thanks to Indians.
In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. There is also evidence for an earlier celebration on the continent by Spanish explorers in Texas at San Elizario in 1598, as well as thanksgiving feasts in the Virginia Colony. The initial thanksgiving observance at Virginia in 1619 was prompted by the colonists' leaders on the anniversary of the settlement. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. In later years, the tradition was continued by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving celebration and fast in 1623. While initially, the Plymouth colony did not have enough food to feed half of the 102 colonists, the Wampanoag Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s.
Yeah, it involved Plymouth and the Indians. I wouldn't be surprised if the Indians stopped celebrating it, considering we kicked them out of their homes and torched their villages for 200 years.
By Native American I meant full blood Native American, sorry for the confusion.
I wish there was any full blood Native Americans I could ask, their population is incredibly low.
I wonder why.
