Tee hee. What a loon. Just the sort of person to put those who disagree into boxcars.

Even if you were responsible or had any obligation there would be no intersection with a tribe of indians that would come into play.

Thanksgiving has nothing to do with indians. Not the first one, any subsequent one, or the modern one. Its not a celebration of “land taking”.

There is no celebration of land taking in the pilgrim one.

The official one we celebrate today was started as a celebration of giving thanks for having defeated the British.

Yeah, pretty much the same here.

There were a few token Thanksgiving items that got about 8 feet of shelf, mostly Halloween crap and the Christmas stuff still boxed and on pallets, in that isle.

Pretty soon it will be “fall holiday” and “winter holiday.”

Then... nothing.

Halloween
They celebrate that for a month here

It’s horrific and bizarre

Thanksgiving is getting mowed down

When the pilgrims came to America, they inherited a continent cleared by God over the previous 100+ years.

I’m just glad the left finally found some migrants they would like to deport - the Pilgrims.

...and the indigenous tribes can thank God for being pulled out of the stone age.

When is society going to stop listening and giving credence to the insane?
Nobody cares what these moronic embiiciles think or say.

The 18% Indian part of me thanks God that those evil Europeans came here and drug us kicking and screaming out of the stone age. Unlike what Asian cultures did to the cultures that they wiped out.

So liberals are for open borders, but only into white countries.

Lead by example. When is the writer of this article going to give his/her property back to the native Americans to show us how it is done?

Not surprising, since they probably never heard it before and were unable to identify it. May not have even realized who they were working with. Good point. 😁🤙

They are not indigenous. They are primitive migrating Asians.
