I do not disagree that thousands of the indians were killed, and often for no reason, but unless you were there when the first gun was fired, or the first arrow flew, we may never know the truth of who started the killing.
Being part American Indian myself, I have heard stories of how the indians killed each other for crossing a lind of what was one tribes land. Until they decided to move that is.
Thanksgiving day should be thought of as a day to share.

you are correct. it was the ensuing government that brought down the indian nation, not the settling pilgrims.
in a snese it was just the day that the fuse was lit. everyone kills everyone. its human nature. the real genocide didn't occur until the american govt wanted more and more of the land and there was no where else to force the indians. i know the history well, but don't wanna debate it all day.
i jsut popped in here for a few and decided to post. enjoy your day man, i didn't intend to rain on it.
