      Georgina Wu God you’re freaking killing me. No it’s not about eating your problems away. The first thanksgiving was the first American harvest, where puritans and native Americans alike harvested food and had a feast for three days. I don’t think he “racist white people” went on a killing spree and killed a bunch a native Americans. Grow up liberals.

    • @dannyverdant
      @dannyverdant Před 5 lety +4

      Not a L’cie but that's what actually happened but not right away, it was after thanksgiving, the Native Americans got betrayed after thanksgiving by the pilgrims and without a second to waste new people arrived in boats to build the new America we know today, which in my opinion is a horrible country in all aspects, racism, crime, discrimination and worst of all, strip clubs.
      I think Native Americans deserve to have their country back.
      Or at least an apology or a day to basically get the respect they deserve, not this fucked up celebration no one really cares about other than Americans themselves.
      Native American Holiday would be something!

      Danny Verdant ah, you’re one of the people who think racism is supported in America. I myself am a conservative, does that make me racist? Does the fact that I think trump isn’t a racist, racist? No it’s not. America is a place where anyone can build themselves up from nothing, they can become lawyers, doctors, or even entrepreneurs, no matter the gender race or age. Check your facts, America is a great country, with a great president, and a wonderful new member of the Supreme Court.

  • @roxanamoraga591
    @roxanamoraga591 Před 8 lety +621

    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.

    • @SelphieFairy
      @SelphieFairy Před 8 lety +17

      +Roxana Moraga I agree. A day for "thanks" as a holiday isn't exclusive to the U.S... The sentiment that we should come together and be thankful is a good one, but the way it's taught in school and the whole association with the pilgrims and native american stuff is inaccurate and really hurtful. It seems a lot of the people in the video want to be able to associate it with just the "thanks" and "family" part, but obviously it's not so simple. so unfortunate.

    • @alexmcbrayer9755
      @alexmcbrayer9755 Před 8 lety +17

      ...it was... thanksgiving was celebrated for 9 main reasons, one including a victory in battle where Pilgrims and a local tribe had defended (key word defended) themselves from an attack from an unknown tribe (tribes didn't care who they attacked really).
      they were pretty damn happy.

    • @roxanamoraga591
      @roxanamoraga591 Před 8 lety +11

      +Alex McBrayer ok, point taken, but it doesn't change the fact that kindergarteners in America are being taught myths about native Americans and pilgrims which aren't being cleared up later as we grow up and move into high school. I think that's a huge problem.

    • @alexmcbrayer9755
      @alexmcbrayer9755 Před 8 lety +6

      Roxana Moraga to be fair, our education system has been and still is in shambles. The sad reality of the fact is, the myth they teach to kindergarteners is more accurate than what they probably would ever teach in schools, being its not "Politically correct", no one wants to hear that the Pilgrams landed during an age of Conquest between tribes which had lasted 5 centuries and killed well over 700 different tribes in Modern day America and Canada.
      Though, I do completely agree with you none the less.
      While it's a rather long read, I just commented on the video about this kind of thing (and when I say long its pretty damn long I wish it really wasn't that long) I recommend reading it if you have the time or time to kill.
      Or even screen shot it to read later (if you have a doctors appointment or something in the future).
      Feel free to make any comment (for or against my comment) and as long as you're polite, I'll take the time to accurately and politely reply.

    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.

    • @mathewhastings9485

    Growing up as a Wampanoag child, our culture was not as defined as it is NOW ,and we were tough that thanksgiving was a great holiday and that my people were special to be a part of its lore and that our people saved the pilgrims and thought them to survive the harsh winter ,this notion stretched in to adulthood,I wore it like a badge of honor .
    Until I was in the military(1994) and stationed in Oklahoma,it was the weekend and I was driving around (nothing else to do)missing back home , just driving down back roads when I came upon a warehouse type building with a lot of cars around it and that all to familiar sounds f drumming..........I stumbled upon a pow wow,my heart and soul soared I parked and made my way to the entrance there were to native men at the door they said that this was sacred and not just anyone could enter,I told them about how I wandered around different roads for hours,and ended up here like it drew me to this place (it was what I desperately needed) I explained that I was Wampanoag from Mashpee Massachusetts,they didn't know what tribe that was,so I told them that we were the people that had thanksgiving with the pilgrims(pulled out my badge) saving them from the harsh winter,one of the man's face got real angry and his body clenched up and said in a harsh way THANKS FOR THAT !!!!!,the other man said welcome brother at that time I really didn't know what to think through out the time i spent there the wheels were spinning in my head what was that man so mad at me ??..............well the light bulb went off,that the way I explained it is that we opened the gates for the flood of europeans to invade native land My shiny badge that I carried with pride got tossed away for good,I found that man again and explained that we experience pain and suffering and the assimilation by the hands of the europeans of that time and apologized for my ignorance.and ended up spending the weekend with them. Hoka !!!

Which is exactly why I am grateful for those who are able to understand that the past might have shaped you, your culture or your group but does not have to be the one thing that determines your future.
      Are there people who can't let go, who dwell on horrors their long gone ancestors had to face? Yes, sure there are. Are there people who want to move on and do their best to do so? Hell yeah, sure there are!
      One fact does not exclude the other.
      Also, it sounds (at least in the statement you've made) that you have a hard time letting your past behind you. Look, no one will ever want you to forget whatever happened, it is a part of you. But being bitchy about it isn't going to make it better, accepting it might.

Then it will be different matter. On society level, we descendants are the ones who need to take care with all the mess left behind by our ancestors. Or maybe it shouldn't matter who your ancestor is, just help each other as a human and living beings. ^^

Yes I know the original story and everything and it's not like I am excluding native Americans in this. I jus consider them Americans that are of native descent that have one hail of a varied beautiful culture. I appreciate their culture every day and the horrid sacrifices their ancestors had to endure and from what I have read and seen in documentaries are still being messed over. And by just celebrating that as day for thanking God for all He's done I am meaning no disrespect to native Americans. I might be wrong but it was the way I was raised but I was taught the horrors as well.

    I have Native American blood running through my veins and what I think about Thanksgiving is about getting together with family and friends. Why do we want to live in the past, if we already had learned from it and don't intend to repeat it? Why do we want to live in that past? Why don't we want to go forward and create a family tradition for this holiday? Trying to keep that past fresh is only effecting us not the ones that caused that bad past. Those people are no longer alive. Don't let what they did effect you and make you into someone that you don't want to be. If you can't find anything to be thankful for, be thankful that you didn't live in those times.But like I said--Thanksgiving is about being with family and friends, good food, and yes, football to some of my family members.

    The thing is that thanksgiving is complex. It can conjure up images of what happened to Native Americans, and there are a lot of rewriting how it was happy, but those Pilgrims didn't just like eat their food and start killing natives. It didn't work like that. It was a specific tribe and Pilgrims from the mayflower eating after starving together. These two groups never turned on each other.
    So I think a lot of people try to put the weight of what happened with other colonists and natives onto this event, and it is kinda unfair.

    Quite frankly, there was a First Thanksgiving feast celebrated by the Pilgrims of Plymouth in 1621, which had nothing to do with the terrible events and slaughter between settlers and natives in the coming centuries. It was actually attended by more Native Americans (around 90) than Pilgrims (53 of whom attended). This was a rare moment of peace, happiness and unity before the storm of war and slaughter between these two peoples. I had ancestors on both sides of the conflict and I'm happy to have this "First Thanksgiving" as an example of something better. Something beautiful that could have been.

Being of both these worlds I also must find a way to heal the past inside my soul, forgive and bring a new beginning ware the essence of what thanks giving was to be about in this day and time ware we come together and settle our differences and age old phobias and hatred to some how birth a future together of prosperity and love for ourselves and others. This is what many of us no matter our race, creed or backgrounds fail to realize that nothing will ever be right or better until we each can lay down the old ego and be open to the evolution of our minds and spirits.

You live in the greatest country in the world. If you don't like the way your life is going, man..... the bus runs every day!
    It really doesn't matter anymore who was here first because if you really want to get real about the whole thing all the land and our bodies belongs to God.

    Most of us natives weren't there for the first thanksgiving, so we need to relax a bit. Pining and whining about the past hasn't gotten us anything and won't get us anywhere. All it seems we want to do is stir our pot and complain. Yeah we had it bad for a long time, but who's to say that we're absolutely bound by that past experience, which the vast majority of us weren't around to witness.

      To be fair, the events of the past have formed the state of affairs of the future. Sure you shouldn't try to live in the past, but it would be pretty foolish not to acknowledge what led up to current events in the first place.

    My former mother in law is Native American grew up on a reservation in the Northwest. She loved Thanksgiving and always made the best pumpkin pies. It's heartbreaking what happened to Native Americans whose land was taken from them. There's no doubt about that But you have a choice...to continue to live in the pain and suffer. And pass that pain and suffering on generation after generation. Then the whole tribe suffers and lives in pain of the past. Or pass on healing and how the people healed and rose above. We don't honor people who died with our suffering. We honor those who came before with how you healed and rose above it. Celebrating Native American Heritage and electing them into office is a wonderful way.

      +Rebecca Johnson LOL no. The BLACKFOOT (not blackfeet LOL) are the Sihasapa. The Sihasapa are Sioux, because Sioux was a government system that is refered to as a "tribe". But it's not a typical tribe, it's a group of tribes. You can't be both blackfoot/sioux because they're the same thing...

  • @juliank8439

    What I asked myself here: What do these people think of when they talk about the 'thanksgiving myth'. I study American studies at University and sure mostly the British settlers did really really bad things to the Natives but still native tribes where so kind to them and give them food after their first hard winter in which the settlers couldnt grow anything. And that basically is thanksgiving. So you might not wanna get thing mixed up here. Meaning all the horrible massacres of Indians but at the same time a nice gesture towards the British... And also maybe (really not forget) but dont blame all the white americans today for what happend until the 18th century. I'm from Germany and we dont blame every other German for being German and therefore being a national socialist automatically. Its all history. Its important so it doesnt happen again but its nothing to still blame todays society for.

    These people have no idea about history, they have no idea that Thanksgiving was declared after the civil war as a holiday to forget division, and to be all inclusive, to give thanks for the blessings we do have and to look at the positive. The reason that day was picked was because in the turbulent history of native warriors and settlers in combat against one another, the first thanks giving was a time where native warriors agreed to peace with the settlers. It isn't about our war against each other, it is about that peace is possible, and we should look at the positive moments in our lives.
