- This 4-hour mini series will shatter everything you thought you knew about the first Thanksgiving and the start of our country. Mimi talks to the producer of "Saints and Strangers" Gina Matthew, as well as two cast members: Kalani Queypo plays Native American "Squanto" and Michael Jibson plays Pilgrim "Myles Standish."
Ms Matthews tells a great story.
I can't wait to see it.
Native languages are rebounding. Thank you for bring this to light.
Having six sets of nine times great-grandparents on the Mayflower (Soule, Hopkins, Standish, Warren, Cooke and Allerton), I was of course extremely interested in watching this special ... enjoyed it too.
+Dorothy Evans Wow - that's quite an ancestry. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
+Mimi Geerges - Yes, I am proud of my heritage ... "If you don't know where you came from, how do you know where you're going?" My people were a hardy bunch and made it through that first winter. The actors in this special were marvelous - a talented and intelligent group. The Native American language was awesome in this special.I do wonder why Robert Cushman (also a nine times GGF) was not mentioned at the end of this special. He arrived on the Fortune with his teenaged son, Thomas also.
"The Pilgrims at Plymouth colony were afraid. An Indian had just reported a white sail off Cape Cod. Was this a French raider from Canada? Miles Standish armed the men and they prepared to meet any assault. Great was their relief when the ship turned out to be the Fortune, an English vessel bringing more colonists.
While many of the newcomers were not Pilgrims, one of the men who disembarked from the boat had been a leader in Leyden, the Dutch city where the Puritans previously lived in exile. This was the deacon, Robert Cushman.
Robert had come to straighten out affairs in the colony. The men who had put up the money to finance the settlement were angry that the ship Mayflower had been kept so long by the Pilgrims--and then sent home empty. The colonists might well have loaded it with timber at least! The company wanted a return on their investments. And they wanted some amended articles signed, too."
Robert left Thomas in the care of his friend, William Bradford and Thomas had an excellent life in the New World. Thomas married Mary Allerton (age 4 when she arrived on the Mayflower). They are my eight times great-grandparents. Robert ended up back in England eventually to work on behalf of the colony but in 1625 died of plague in London.
Two of my seven times great-grandfathers (James Hovey and Ephraim Sawyer) were killed by Indians in the King Philip War (i.e., Metacomet) in the mid 1670s in Massachusetts. They were in their mid 20s ...
What I would like to see down the road is a movie about Black Hawk (1767-1838) from my area in the Sauk Valley in northern Illinois. (During the Black Hawk War, interesting to note is that Abe Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were soldiers who encamped together here in Dixon, Illinois along the Rock River). The Black Hawk War was the last Indian battle east of the Mississippi. Black Hawk was an awesome person.
I watched most of the series and was impressed by the work and research that was accounted for. The Truths need to come out in Public School Systems as well. We as Americans and Native Americans Deserve this by whomever makes those decisions. I am Native to this land and Hope to see more Truths come to the forefront. This is NOT a Great Nation to the First Peoples. It was a Great Nation before Pilgrims!!!! My Family does Not Celebrate Thanksgiving. I call it Pilgrims Day.
Kalani Queypo was correct in stating that Native Americans were enslaved as well as Blacks. Many are not aware that many Irish were also enslaved by Britain and sent to America and the West Indies/ Montserrat and Antigua. in the 17th and 18th centuries.
In my country Panama the indians and black were enslaved too. They brought racism, lots of diseases and their traumas along.
I think those settlers were attacked by the native american indians after the Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, keep people in the dark. Clearly they didn’t research adequately or they wanted to keep JESUS out of it...can’t OFFEND anyone. Desquantum (Aka Squanto) knew Jesus as his Salvation and thus walked in forgiveness and deep relationship with God. In the end, he clearly saw how the Lord providentially worked in all things in his life. Just as Joseph in Egypt seeing his brothers who sold him said “You meant it for evil. But God used it for good and the salvation of many lives.” To removed this reality from this story has killed it. Squanto is a recent Joseph for this nation! This is the truth of this story. Gods hand miraculously moving even through evil events.
