For many Americans, Thanksgiving means turkey with all the fixings, spending time with family, and being grateful for the blessings of the year. But for many Native Americans, the holiday is a bit more complicated.The introduction of European settlers to the Americas had a mostly tragic outcome for many indigenous communities. They lost land to people who distrusted and disrespected their way of life. They lost millions of people to territorial conflict, starvation and diseases brought from Europe. Their cultures were misunderstood, devalued and deemed inferior. Some think the traditional Thanksgiving narrative – generous Pilgrims, helpful Indians – implies Native Americans should be grateful about the events that led to their suffering.Mahtowin Munro is co-leader of, which organizes a National Day of Mourning each year on Thanksgiving. The event began in 1970, as a way to memorialize indigenous people who died as a result of colonization and to protest continued discrimination and exploitation.The goal: Offer an unvarnished view of what the archetypal Thanksgiving celebration meant for those who lived in America when the Pilgrims landed.“We do a National Day of Mourning to talk about this and just to say, ‘You need to stop teaching this to your children, and having this false mythology,’” Munro said.
“The idea is that the Pilgrims had this bountiful harvest and decided to share it and they invited the Native Americans and everybody lived happily ever after. The Native Americans definitely didn’t live happily ever after.”The mourning day events typically kick off with several hundred people, Native American and not, gathered on Plymouth’s Coles Hill, near a statue of Massasoit, the leader of the Wamponag tribe who lived in the area during the Pilgrims’ settlement. A spiritual ceremony with smudging of sacred smoke and prayer follows. Next comes a speak-out, in which Native Americans talk about past or present issues in their communities.
Then there’s a march through old Plymouth and a social, where many of the attendees who have been fasting in memory of their ancestors break their fast with a meal that could include anything from turkey to moose stew to vegan fare.“It’s really a day for non-Native people to listen,” said Munro, who is a member of the Lakota tribe. “Every other day of the year – in this society, we’re not even a presence. We’re relegated to being an asterisk or not even counted or being a joke, like a sports team mascot.”Christopher Paul Moore, a Lenape tribal elder who lives in New York City, recognizes the history associated with Thanksgiving, but also uses it as an opportunity to gather with family and be thankful.
His Thanksgiving menu is like many others –turkey and stuffing - but also corn pudding and perhaps some wild game.Moore, a historian and curator at the, said it’s a time for “keeping in mind not only the fruits of the earth but the water, the soil, the air we breathe.”“It’s not just human beings and being thankful that we’ve got some food for our tummies, but it’s also for the tummies of the wild animal world; and the sun, the moon, the earth will all be part of that observance,” Moore said. “We will go to Manhattan Island and just have some time of thanks, to have some time with our ancestors. To be thankful not only for our ancestors, but for America, and thankful we’re still here.”For J. Lucy Boyd having a Native American point of view of Thanksgiving is fairly new. She didn't know her grandfather as she was growing up, and learned only six years ago that he was Cherokee. Soon after, she became an official member of the United Cherokee Ani-Yun-Wiya Nation. Boyd's Thanksgiving means sharing with others and enjoying the bounty of the season – something she finds completely compatible with her recently discovered Native American heritage.“The Native Americans had an end-of-harvest celebration before the Pilgrims came.
I don’t see any reason not to celebrate it today,” Boyd said. “I have more reverence for the plants, the animals, the things that sustain us.”Boyd, a psychiatric nurse and author in Lakesite, Tennessee, will be sitting down to two Thanksgivings this year – one with her children and grandchildren, and another with her mother and grandmother – 'one with the descendants, and one with the ancestors.' They'll be eating what many would call a standard holiday meal with ham and turkey. But next year, Boyd hopes to include some Cherokee recipes.' Thanksgiving is for everybody,' Boyd said. 'It doesn’t belong to any one group, it belongs to all of us.' BambiYes, it was a tragedy, but there is no nation on this earth that had not been conquered by another at some time in the past.
Natives have lost many things AND have gained at least that many. They can drive cars, have warm houses, television, easily accessible food. The people who have been wronged are dead and so are those who have wronged them.
Today we are one nation living together and should stop blaming people who have been born here and have nothing to do with the crimes of their ancestors, for what happened. And we should also stop giving out handouts to people just because their ancestors have been wronged.
REMEMBER IT WAS THE ANCESTORS WHO HAVE COMMITTED THE CRIMES AND ANCESTORS WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGED. Not the people who live today. NitalynnReminds me of the Saw, 'One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.' The truth is the Plymouth colony barely survived its first few years and would not have done so if not for the help of some of the Indian tribes around them and yes, these and many more tribes lost bitterly for their efforts but isn't this the history of mankind in general? Let's teach the truth in the history books and celebrate the fact that we are all here now to tell the story, good and bad and move on to a better future than the past.
The one thing the decedents of both sides can definitely say is that their forefathers (and foremothers) were survivors. Hopefully that speaks of genes that will get us through a very uncertain future. KathyI agree with your insightful comment completely. The Native Americans suffered greatly during the colonization of the United State and this continues to this day.
It is unimaginable that we can somehow justify this, through our history books and by simply not discussing the issue in an honest and forthright way. We are quick to point out the injustices across the atlantic, and in foreign countries, but there remain so many injustices in our own country. This also holds true for the black slaves brought to America. This is a great article that should be read by all Americans. AnevayIm not one of the really ignorant to history people but I don't know how it all went down as I wasn't there for the first thanksgiving. I always believed that, the pilgrims were broke, low on food and water, looking for refuge, and the Indians spared them and shared their end of harvest feast with them. Then as the pilgrims got comfortable, and some hundred years later, the european invaders eventually took over.
I don't think it was the first settlers that did all the bad stuff was it? Some native americans believe so.but I think everyone has a different account of what actually happened and when. Stuffed fullWhat is wrong with you? Anevay was just making a point that this is what we are taught. He/She wasn't making any politically aimed statement. He/She, like all of us, do not get to choose how we are taught about subjects in school. We are all innocent in that respect and need to look into all different view points of history ourselves to have a wider scope of the events.
While it is generally true that history text books are compiled by 'white people', you do not know their interests behind what they put in and leave out, therefore you don't know if they are actually lobbying for more minority views on events or not. In general, history text books are getting better and most teachers supplement the text with other readings and assignments. Happy turkey day or day of mourning to everyone. FlambeauxfireI think it didnt take mor ethan 20 years before the original pilgrims and the indians they had bonded with were in a war that got real ugly. The Pilgrims got as ugly as the rest, but it is true that the oncoming waves of immigrants – by the moth – made the original co-habitation more and more complicated until that war erupted. Then, after that, it was more a case of which tribe you were in for certain tribes allied with the invaders to get better treatment for another 20 before they got the chop too. Pretty ugly stuff all in all.
CmcNo one should sugar coat our history, but let's not forget that's what it is: history. As a woman, I could complain and whine about the centuries that EVERY culture in the world treated women like crap, but what good would it do? We're all aware of the past. We can sugar coat how in the 'good ol' days women stood by their man' when in reality, they didn't have any other options and had to stay no matter how lousy the marriage. Civilized countries move on from their shameful pasts.we should be focusing our energy on helping countries that CONTINUE to mistreat people, not whining about what happened a couple centuries back. Really???The article says Native Americans disagree with the woodcut shown with the article. In the woodcut a European woman is offering Native American men food, after it has been prepared by the other women shown cooking.
Of course she is serving them, they are honored guests who brought a much appreciated gift.That gift is symbolized by the basket of maize kernels held by what appears to be the leader of the European group(his outfit identifies him) In the background a Native American woman is standing listening to another woman. The hospitality of that time period decreed that a good hostess keeps a guest amused while waiting to be served. Men of both cultures ate first, although children were an exception to that rule. We need to look at this picture with an understanding of the time in which it was made, not with modern prejudices.
Before both sides jump all over me, let me say that I am viewing the wood cut fairly objectively; as an artist, a history buff, & a person with Native ancestry. This woodcut actually is what our interaction Should have continued to be, by honoring each other, & sadly what our relationship was not. Put aside your grief & differences, if you can, this day.
I will continue to celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving, Peace. HorsesmouthAmericans wonder why the world hates us? Look in the mirror. You condemn the NATIVE AMERICANS (FYI NATIVE b/c it's their land).
So you condemn them, like they're looking for a handout, when YOU STOLE IT FROM THEM, RAPED THEIR WOMEN, STOLE THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR LIVELIHOOD, AND THEN have the NERVE to say they should be grateful for what we LET THEM HAVE. THIS IS WHY THE WORLD DOESN'T LIKE YOU. YOU THINK you're the only one's that matter, look at numbers the majority of HUMANITY AND HUMAN KIND DOES NOT LIKE AMERICANS B/C OF HOW YOU ACT! LisaSorry horsesmouth.
America has more people trying to get here than any other country. We have more immigrants than anywhere and we always have and I am not just talking about Hispanics coming across the border but EVERYONE. Sure can't speak for the Europeans who came 400 years ago and dealt our Native Americans a bad hand. Some were wonderful and some were not but you are wrong when you say that nobody likes Americans as you are totally proven wrong by the millions who want to be here.
Americans have given so much more money in contributions to any and every national disaster than any other country worldwide. We are a very generous people. I have to take issue with your statement that everyone hates us. If you live here, please leave, and if you don't live here please never try to do so. MaxxronOnly ignorant, uneducated 'Americans' believe that it was the Pilgrims that shared their 'bounty' with the Natives. We all know (or damn well should) that without the help and guidance of the Native people, the Pilgrims would have been wiped out by cold and famine. What did they receive in return?
Theft, rape and murder of everything that they held dear.The Native American's are a beautiful and proud people that didn't deserve what happened to their ancestors. They should be praised and schools need to focus more on the atrocities that this country was founded on.It's true, there's nothing we can do to change the past, but we can damn well make sure our children and children's children understand that this holiday is more than just gorging on food.
It's a day to remember the kindness and love that people can hold for each other, even in the face of adversity. To share and help those in need, to be a community of people and not just individuals.We are all humans, we are all equal. No more, no less. DonThanksgiving is giving thanks for what ever we have to offer thanks for.(family, friends, life.etc). Its for getting together and enjoying famly and friendships. Its not being thankful for invading and conquering a people. That should never happen.and we should never spend time always regretting for those things that happened ages beyond our own lives becuase every nation, people and creed would be forever mourning the past.
Native American's invaded each other, many countries have taken land that belonged to other cultures and other people. Just study the history of man. I think we should be offering the Native American's the same opportunities we have.but I don't think we should degrade the intent of Thanksgiving. WhateverHow far back should we go? Should I hate the present day Itailians for coming into my native England and stealing my ancesters land? The strong take from the weak.
It's a fact of humanity. It's still going on. If you are really concerned about atrocities imposed on one human being by another.do it in an arena that is relevant today. Go make the world a better place.Whining about history is useless. It doesn't help the people who need help today. We have to adapt or die.
It's nature's way.Go find someone who has less than you do and give them a helping hand.I could whine about being an abused child but, I would rather go forward and do a better job than my parents did.You are not your ancesters and I am not a frightened child. JanieI have to agree. My fathers family came over from Scotland, tired of being oppressed by the English. My mothers family are Cherokee and Choctaw, my grandparents both were born and raised on reservations. I can't remember a single year they didn't celebrate Thanksgiving. As they said, yes it has a sad history, but for them it was a time to be greatful for all that they had, family friends loved ones, homes, jobs, cars, etc.I was raised thankfully to know how to respect both sides of my ancestery, the Scots didn't do anything to the Native Americans and quite frankly I'm sick and tired of being called names when Indians see me. If they could see my grandparents they wouldn't be calling me names.
I have enough Indian blood in me to collect not 1 but 2 tribal checks and yet I don't. I work.It's time for them to get over it and quit hating white people who didn't have anything to do with it.
Get their butts into college (most of them I know are content living on the rez) and show people what you are made of. KimThe numbers I found on line for the population prior to the settlements are as follows.25,000,000 people, or about seven times the number living in all of England, were residing in and around the great Valley of Mexico at the time of Columbus's arrival in the New World'.
Here is the site where it can be found. Native people gain nothing from us. They help the settlers live through the winter and for their trouble, We raped their women, killed countless, killed the buffalo and stole their land. I fully understand why they would have a day of mourning. If any culture deserves it they do.
This was truly the American Holocaust. And we should never forget in the same way Germany will not forget so it will never happen again. Richwhat a bunch of PC BS. Yea we took over North America because thats what humans do. Our entire history is riddled with groups migrating into different areas and then clashing with the indigenous people.
Does anyone really think its plausible that the pilgrims would have gotten to the new world seen the natives and then said 'oh wow, look at this beautiful indian civilization, better leave them be and go home'. Of course not. Or better yet, does anyone think that if the natives had the technology, they wouldnt have done the same thing in a heartbeat.one thing i noticed reading the meriwether lewis biography undaunted courage is that the natives were just as brutal to each other. They were always warring, enslaving each other, starving out other tribes, and generally being violent. BECAUSE ITS HUMAN NATURE. Were not perfect and never will be.thanksgiving is a celebration of the creation of the greatest country in history that has doen more good for the world than any other. Thats something we should all be thankful for.
AZKNIGHTWOLFThe White settlers did not just 'take the land.' They fought long and bloody wars for the land. The Whites had superior weapons and tactics, which means they were better prepared to win the Indian wars. The Indians fought bravely and valiantly, but in the end, they simply lost the war. The spoils go to the victor, and the spoils was the land. I'm sorry their way of life was ruined, but, hey, it was WAR. Nobody really wins in a war,or course.

But in this case, the victors were the European settlers. AngryoldguyYou are all idiots! Let me ask you this: IF someone where to try to move into your town & displace its inhabitants, burn their homes, etc. How would you feel? Try to answer that honestly (which it would seem that no one here is really capable of). HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
Would you welcome them with open arms? Or would you take up arms? 'Eye for eye' Tooth for tooth'? That's what humans do, doesn't matter where or when, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL DO! Try looking into a history book once in a while and being honest about who & what you really are! WE ARE ALL KILLERS!
Quit trying to justify the actions of your ancestors and wash your hands like Pilate. 'Don't tell me they're peaceful!' Neither were your ancestors! The people of this world have been killing each other since we came down from the trees! We will probably keep at it until we are all dead! Nobody's hands are clean in this world, that is why we are told that we need 'salvation'. Sometimes I wonder if we are worth saving at all when I read bigoted, hateful responses like they ones I have read here.
Rachel N.I do not consider the way we treated Native Americans to be 'crap.' It is a sad and horrific series of events. And even if the collective 'we' should not feel guilt, we should feel some responsibility for the greed and avarice that propelled the white man to take what was not his. It was somewhat Darwinian in that the 'fittest' survived, but that does not make it morally right.
We don't talk a great deal about morality in this country. Perhaps we should. If only we could learn from history and our mistakes.
RussellThere is a lot of would've and could've. The bottom line is this, science has proven there are no real native americans.
![Immigration Immigration](http://www.asiatraveltips.com/newspics/twitter/2016/FinnairA350.jpg)
The people who we call that, are actually Asians that migrated over through Siberia to Alaska.Anyway, the Native American's of Asian decent where doomed. They numbered in the few millons, where still in the stone age. They where literally thousands of years behind in development, most had no concept of written law, nations, and were often at war with each other. This continent by and large was sparsly populated and in many places, empty. Few permanet settlements. OpenedMindedRussell so it was great that the white man used germ-warfare, war propaganda, and manipulated the Christian religion so that they could slaughter millions of NAs and force the rest off their land.
You are absolutely right. They were Asian any way therefor they deserve to die. If the Chinese ever rose up into power and invaded America then they would have every right to do so. Why, well, we are mostly whites with a bunch of mutt races thrown in.
Therefore, Americans deserve to be invaded. Besides if the Chinese defeat Americans then it will be our faults for losing. They would have proved that we are backwards.
Russell, you are so right!!! BigRedEuropeans came to this continent and formed villages while being attacked by native peoples, and perishing from the elements and from disease. Their personal bravery in the face of enormous odds is worthy of respect and admiration. When they had finally developed a minimal of self sustainment they gave thanks to their God and to their good fortune to have survived. Although some native peoples see this as their day of mourning, it was their own people who assisted the colonists in growing some crops. Later tribes allied themselves with the colonists in order to fight and massacre neighboring tribes who were their enemies. There is enough blame to go around regarding the plight of native peoples and some of it is their own poor judgement in trusting the colonists.
But on this day of Thanksgiving we pause not to gloat over the demise of native peoples but to thank a divinity and our own efforts in giving ourselves a life where we are free. Thinkingtimethe christian culture is filled with ignorance and self deception. The natives were too wild for the tight reared christian philosophies that still cannot allow people to be alive without guilt and shame.
These indians are really beautiful culturually and physically. They had greater respect and were more mature than the babies i see running our government.
We cant even mention nature without calling each other names. Sure natives were human like we are bur we could learn alot from the good things they brought to humanity. All the pictures reveal sick looking fearful christians dominating a society living without all the prudish expressions and clothing. We need to learn from these people teir wisdom is apparent to anyone senstive with perception. PilgrimPilgrimWho Cares! This PC crap is getting way too much.
Nobody alive today had anything to do with the events of the past and it is time to quit the blame game. Native Americans were a conqured people, but unlike the vast majority of those that came before them they have been compensated quite nicely for the trouble they were put through, and, I might add, by those who had no involvement in these original events.
As a taxpayer I think maybe this holiday should be a way for these groups to say thanks in some small way for the contribution that my tax dollars make to your lifestyle. LibrababyI live in Canada, so that might have something to do with it, but I was always taught that the first American thanksgiving was when the pilgrims were there and they were starving so the Native people showed them how to grow food and shared what they had with them. I didn't hear this other version where the pilgrims shared food with the Native people. Why wouldn't the people who had already been living there for quite some time already know how to grow food?
I'm pretty sure they would have. AdamFrom the day the first human left the african continent and began to spread throughout the world there have been wars and injustices. It is just a part of our animal heritage. There once was a group called neandertals, they dissapeared entirely. From invading groups like the Persian, Mongols and Romans the modern human race has grown and prospered We can not return to the past and force the Romans to repay the europeans for what they took from them nor return the latter day africans slaves from south america back to the west african coast from which they came.
The cherokees decended on the creeks and dispalced them just as the souix displaced other groups. No one can fix the past.
Clinging to it ony keeps one from moving forward. Of course the news media has to fill in dead air with people's endless complaints about their lives.
Its entertainment. People who are sucsessful in this world move forward eveyday and make the most of this brief existance.
After all, we will all become the same dirt we arose from in short order. PilgrimWho Cares! This PC crap is getting way too much.

PilgrimI had ancestors on the frontier that were slaughtered by the Sioux, and I don't get any compensation for that, nor do I expect to.
But you must be one of those who like to believe that Native Americans were all about peace and love prior to Europeans coming to this land. I suppose it is easeir to believe that than to accept the proven fact that they were largely composed of violent groups that were constantly in conflict with each other and often totally destroyed their enemies right down to their women and children.
I guess a PC mindset has to ignore the truth to make their views seem more reasonable. In truth, nobody around today can claim that their ancestors were innocent, we all have our roots soaked in blood. Unlike some, however, I can accept that.
I make no apologies, nor do I ask any. MLMI too had ancestors who were killed by Shawnee in the night, women and children were slaughtered with babies killed and left outside, do not tell me the were peaceful. I am so tired of people trying to make people of European descent feel bad for being on the winning side.
The frontier in KY was attacked regularly and it wasn't inhabitated at the time by Native Americans. Their local history said it was haunted by souls of massacre of tribes that once lived there.There are many instances of Indian attacks on settlements and killing all who were there. Three Dog MamaWe were not a very nice people when we came to America. Either at Plymouth or Jamestown or Manhattan. Matter of fact, we were horrible to the people who lived here. This was a myth started by the White People for their own reasons.
And as time has gone on, people forget about those who were here before us – and are still here. We have raped their country from sea to shining sea.
Yes, the victors get to write history but there is always another side to the story. I for one cherish the little history that I can read on the NATIVE Americans and how horrible we were to them and still are. One, yes, white people conquered the Indians. It's no different from when Alexander the Great conquered the known world, or when the Romans conquered much of Europe, or when the French conquered England. The world keeps moving forward, no matter what, it's pointless to go back and say how horrible settlers were to the Indians, because guess what?
If the settlers had been nicey-nicey with them and not put their culture in place, you most likely would not be alive, would not have a computer, and would not have the life you have as a whole. The second thing is, you claim there are always two sides to the story, but what if I tried to make that argument about the Civil War? You would most likely tell me that there is no other side to that story, that Southerners were monsters, etc, etc, simply because that is not a popular 'little guy' to support.
RavenSadly, the American society, Media and Government, continue to ignore the travesties committed against the American Indian/Alaska Natives. People talk about the horrors committed by other countries against their people yet these same horrors committed in this country are ignored. Doesn't anyone know – or at least wonder – what drove tribes who were traditionally enemies to join together to attack Custer? Why does society ignore the fact that in the 1800's, our troops surrounded and murdered 300 men, women, children for doing a dance that the government ruled illegal? Why did whites allow mission schools to forcibly remove indian children from their villages to be placed in these schools – have their hair cut, forced to accept English names, forced to give up their customs, beaten (the saying was 'kill the indian/save the man'). This continued until the 1960's. I see society go balistic about conditions in other countries yet remain silent about our own dirty not-so-well-kept secret.Reading most of these postings show not only the ignorance but the desire to ignore the issues – that are continuing – rather than to take a stand.
To those who are interested in learning the truth – take classes at colleges. VonDoomThey had their differences but they also had an uncanny ability to get along just fine. In fact, they got along more than they fought. As long as they respected each other which they mostly did, nothing really happened. The physical place where I live was considered sacred ground where tribes considered it taboo to fight over or on. Multiple tribes lived here and buried their dead here. Just last week, a grave was found here that first examinations suggest it's over 1500 years old.
Some guy found it in his yard installing a water line living in the middle of the downtown area. They don't even know what tribe it belongs too because so many lived here. JMChicagoI sympathize with the Native Americans, but as a professor of history, realize that its history. And what happened to the Native American's isn't much different than has happened in most countries in cultures since the beginning of time. The Ottoman empire, the Persian empire, the Roman empire, the Gauls, the Moors, etc.
Have all taken over entire countries/continents, enslaved, raped and murdered (millions) and stolen lands, and the political boundaries of the countries changed. And than a few hundred years later, it would happen all over again. Even the Spanish were taken over by the Moors for hundreds of years until they were able to rise up and finally defeat the Moors. The native american's tried to do the same, but failed.
Eventually they integrated, same as most other cultures historically speaking. Its nothing new or unique to Native American's. In fact, the Native American's would enslave, murder, and rape neighboring tribes to steal their lands. Some such as the Mayans and Incas stealing hundreds of thousands of square miles of land and killing hundreds of thousands of people. What the Spanish did in the Americas wasn't any different than what native american's were literally already doing to each other for thousands of years.
Amadeo122than if it's all nice and dandy why are we still persecuting nazis? It happened a long time ago? Why don't we forget about the Holocaust? There's been massacres of millions throughout history even after the holocaust. Why can't the Germans lift a monument to their world war 2 dead?
We remember Custer, the 7 th cavalry, and many other mass murderers as heroes, I don't see why can the nazi sympathizers in Germany not lift a monument to Hitler neither. If we enjoy thanksgiving based on how the white settlers took advantage of the native population I don't why the Germans should not celebrate the invasion of France during WW2.
Timothy stallingsI believe that human history is a lesson to be learned and not forgotten, all of it! The problem is NOBODY seems to learn from it. The Native Americans want something from us, I am not sure what, but I don't want to go backwards in time and have to hunt for food.
Today it is a grocery store away. Everyone, today, must come to the realization times and things change.
NO one group is perfect, even if they think they are, that's their problem. I leave the perfecting of the human spirit to God not man. As a black man I see the results of the past mistakes made by American politics and people. I refuse to live in the past, my family has invested a lot into America and I'm going to give it to my grandchildren. Enjoy the fruits of this society!!
TravisI'm thankful for my family, right to religion, place in society and the ability to speak freely what is on my mind. For that can't we have 1 holiday that is not dissected and put in to 'PC' terminology over events that happend centuries ago?
There's not a single 'Native American' in which can recollect any events that happened in that time period. While your at it CNN lets go ahead and start listing all the genocides and wars that have taken place over the last 400 years.
I'm sure there are families in the United States who are still mourning the Civil War losses and hold contemp and ill will towards the North or South. C'mon as callous as it may sound it happened centuries ago, the 'Native Americans' of today are not personally affected.time to deal with history and move on.
