I’m glad this article highlights that if this man made it to shore and had extended contact with these people, he would have exposed them to diseases they’ve never seen before and potentially killed them all. There’s a reason it’s illegal to go there, and Jesus isn’t gonna protect them from chicken pox or the flu.
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
