Personally, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's a time to be with friends and family and enjoy good food --without the pressure and commercialism of Christmas.
No one I know celebrates killing Native Americans. Any depiction or painting that I can recall illustrating Native Americans at Thanksgiving shows them along side the European settlers, sharing the harvest together.
Although, I know there were massacres a long time ago and they were regrettable. I'd like to think that fully embraced, the Thanksgiving spirit and tradition might heal some of those old wounds.
