Today[*] is Thanksgiving in the United States, or a National Day of Mourning for Native Americans in New England, or “Unthanksgiving Day” for some Native Americans on the West Coast. It commemorates pilgrims and Wampanoag people sharing an autumn harvest feast. However the colonists ultimately repaid the Native people by nearly wiping them out in centuries of atrocities and genocide. This is an interesting blog about all sides of Thanksgiving: https://ift.tt/2FCFaET
