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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

In college, one of my Native friends said, "It's the only time of the year everyone remembers we exist."
