This is so much BS. The original pilgrims had a peacdful relationship with the indians of the plymouth area. They set up a mutual society of trade and buying. The pilgrims paid for land etc. The relationship lasted in harmony for 50 years. The Indians in SF didn't deal with the pilgrims, they dealt with the spanish and then later Americans coming in for the gold rush, and entirely different situation.

Too bad all the animals the Initial Americans hunted to extinction are no longer around to regret the arrival of the 2 leggeds from the west.

"Groups representing Palestinian, Aztec and African indigenous people joined Native Americans in dancing, chanting and prayers. "
Loony liberal left losers losers losers losers
Palestinians and Aztecs and Africans oh my!
The Palestinians can blow up the Aztecs, the Aztecs can rip the beating hearts out of the Palestinians, and the Africans can eat the remains cooked over that bonfire... and all will be at peace.
Sheesh.

Yeah, and the guy acts as if his Wailikie Tribe were personally harmed by pilgrims.

Can't take land from someone who doesn't believe in ownership of land to begin with.

Not only that. The native Americans were slaughtered, raped, and nearly wiped out by the Spanish, long before the pilgrims landed. They should be grateful North America was conquered by the English speaking people, or they would be a bunch of scraggly wetbacks trekking through a hot, dry border instead of fat lazy bums living off their casinos.

I' m sure this boxed toy would cause those losers all kinds of turmoil. After all, it features John Wayne AND Nascar AND the word Pilgrim.

"It was the saddest day for us. It was a big mistake for us to help the Pilgrims survive that first winter. They betrayed us once they got their strength." Get over it already!

Ahhhh, the wisdom of the Stone Age.
Is John Edwards handy? Maybe the descendants of the Pilgrims can sue the descendants of the Injuns for all the nastiness and death caused by that wonderful Native American gift of tobacco. ;>)

Reminds me of Algore...
"He betrayed this country! He played on our fears!"

"Ultimately, this is their land," said Irma Pinedo, a Mexico City native who was among the Aztec dancers taking part in the ceremony. "For us, no turkey today." I beg to differ. Just look around you.
