Much like American-Indian mascots, people say that American Indians are being honored by the remembrance of that “first” Thanksgiving... I didn't know that Thanksgiving was supposed to honor the indians...I thought it was more of "Thank God we didn't ALL die" from the pilgrims.

...thought it was more of "Thank God we didn't ALL die" from the pilgrims. Yes, the Pilgrims were expressing gratitude to God for blessing them with survival, a pretty good harvest that first year & peaceful relations with the (prone to violence) Natives (who had NO concept of land ownership).
God is receiving far shorter shrift than the Native Peoples from many of our post-modern 'Thanksgiving' Day celebrations!

Really! They were invited to honor and thank God, not the indians. Cheez.
