Re: PragerU: 'What's the Truth About the First....

The first Thanksgiving is well documented so don't try and deny the truth to avoid guilt and shame. You only hurt yourself when you do that. Even when you think you are getting away with a lie, your body knows that you are lying and starts creating disease internally.

Here is a FACTUAL accounting of the FIRST THANKSGIVING:

The Wampanoag Peoples had a long political history dealing with other Native Nations before the English arrived.
The Wampanoag shared their land, food, and knowledge of the environment with the English. Without help from
the Wampanoag, the English would not have had the successful harvest that led to the First Thanksgiving. However,
cooperation was short lived, as the English continued to attack and encroach upon Wampanoag lands in spite of

their agreements. Interactions with Europeans and Americans brought accelerated and often devastating changes
to American Indian cultures. As with all lessons that discuss Native American culture and history, it is important to
include accurate details, be tribally specific, and practice cultural sensitivity when teaching about Thanksgiving. Just
as they were before the English arrived, Native Americans like the Wampanoag Peoples are dynamic and active
participants in all aspects of society.
