The true indigenous story of Thanksgiving is not a very pretty picture but however history has romanticized it to the point where are you now know one of the stories.
Our version of these events is pretty horrific and exceptionally graphic.
But in the end we did save a lot of people from starvation

The main story of the East Coast Indian Indians and Thanksgiving is something that you should definitely write about.
And that definitely was passed around and is something that native cultures really despise hearing as it is a extremely whitewashed version of what really happened.
The first Thanksgiving was more about tears and pain then it was a celebration.
Indians have a saying if you teach a man how to grow corn he will come back raise your village to the ground enslave your women and kids and kill all the men

Oh there's quite a few sources in documents of what really happened back then which happens to differ quite a bit from the official accounts we feed the children in school.
But then again the massacre at Wounded Knee in the 1800's wasn't really covered nor is the bounties for not only native men but also women and kids.
Americans did some pretty horrific things which of course didn't make any friends and helped to fuel the cycle of violence to even more Heights or Low.
The story on the North American continent is definitely not a very good one

yes sir exactly. The country was basically founded on murder, lies, genocide and broken treaties. It's amazing any of the indigenous people survived at all.
