The Real Thanksgiving

ADVERTISEMENT

Published: November 14, 2007

Americans believe that Thanksgiving celebrates a bountiful harvest, but that is not so. In 1970, the Wampanoag Indians had turned a copy of a Thanksgiving proclamation by the governor to the colony. The text revealed the ugly truth.

After the militia had returned from murdering the men, women and children from an Indian village, the governor proclaimed a holiday and a feast to give thanks for the massacre. He also encouraged other colonies to do likewise. In other words, every year after the crops are in, go out and kill Indians.

Hundreds of Indians and Indian supporters gather in Plymouth to protest the lies and to tell the truth about our "Christian Holiday," and will continue to do so until the truth about the massacre is common knowledge.
