Squanto and the Indians were so cool.
Not like William Bradford and those old white guys.
Bradfords pants kept falling down because he wore his belt buckle on his hat.
Normally pants on the ground would be cool but Bradford was just an old white guy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Now, there’s a movie I’d like to see made.

Squanto’s mother can be played by .... Elizabeth Warren :)

LOL!

Disney made a movie about Squanto (fictionalized and sweetened up of course!) and a member of my Tribal Group was commissioned to write the song that Squanto sings when he is faced with a ferocious bear.

Of course, the song was so heavily edited in the film, it was barely recognizable! Oh Well.

***And then he opens his mouth. He speaks English!***

I read a different story of it. A different Indian met the Pilgrims and he spoke English. He said...

“Welcome! Welcome! But wait, I will bring you Squanto who can speak better English than I!”

Sadly we’re infested with takers versus makers so work is slow for this generations Squanto’s .......

Happy Thanksgiving to you Gunner....hope your well and the grub is good.

Stay safe!

I’d love to see a short fiction story on a time traveler going back to 17th century Puritan culture and explaining the future:

Visitor: “The future: Homosexual marriage is allowed and they adopt children, Women dress provocatively, half of all births are out of wedlock, men and women shack-up instead of getting married, divorce is rampant, immorality is rampant, the church is declining in numbers and people work on Sunday”

Cut to the visitor being burned at the stake.

That actually is a good idea for a movie to examine our culture.
What’s left of it.

Fish in Mekong river most appreciative

Kissinger was a fat old horn dog with a piss poor diplomacy record....no better than Cyrus Vance

While it may not be exactly what you're describing, you might really enjoy Orson Scott Card's Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus.
