they were foolish but they did not know that theese people were such of evil blood
the long term of effect on the indians is the same as it was on blacks and most any othe race touched by the violent ways of the cauca european
total devastation of culture instead of downing them and talking shit about them drinking etc.....
understand why they are in this position in the first place

well said... for those who don't know why or when Thanksgiving was first celebrated... here ya go!
Thanksgiving is closely related to harvest festivals that had long been a traditional holiday in much of Europe. The first North American celebration of these festivals by Europeans was held in Newfoundland by Martin Frobisher and the Frobisher Expedition in 1578. Another such festival occurred on December 4, 1619 when 38 colonists from Berkeley Parish in England disembarked in Virginia and gave thanks to God. Prior to this, there was also a Thanksgiving feast celebrated by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado (along with friendly Teya Indians) on May 23 1541 in Texas' Palo Duro Canyon, to celebrate his expedition's discovery of food supplies. Some hold this to be the true first Thanksgiving in North America. Another such event occurred a quarter century later on September 8, 1565 in St. Augustine when Pedro Menéndez de Avilés landed; he and his men shared a feast with the natives.
Well... to those who don't celebrate Thanksgiving - you're missing out...it's a time to give thanks for food, family and friends... and to those who do... HAPPY THANKSGIVING - HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE!
