instructing them to be sensitive to the fact that for many Indian people, Thanksgiving is a time of mourning.
Why? Those bags of Silver Dollars must really be heavy, eh Cochise.

In a former life and a saner time, Thanksgiving was a time to celebrate friendship between Native Americans and English Settlers, both of whom are in my ancestral linesThank you!

Oh, puhleeze. I've never EVER heard a Native American person say such a thing. This is formed out of the 'white guilt' so many liberals carry.Absolutely. I've said for 30 years, the most dangerous ethnic group on earth is the great white liberal with power.

maybe they wouldn’t be mourning if they enforced their borders.
This is not a thread hijack it is a joke. Thank you for your time.

Will they be serving salmon with the letter or two free casino chips?

Give Thanks to ALL!!
Can we just start ignoring these twits? Maybe they will take their ideas and live in a big cave somewhere or maybe a volcano.

Isn’t Seattle named after the famed Indian Chief whose now celebrated lament turns out to have been cooked up by a white reporter [probably an ancestor of Dan Rather]? Somehow, it fits.

From the website:
Myth #1: The First Thanksgiving occurred in 1621.
Fact: No one knows when the first thanksgiving occurred. People have been giving thanks for as long as people have existed
=================
And that, folks, is a learned individual talking.
Don't have to read much more except for the humor value.

I was also but there are some who claim you can only be a native American if your ancestors were here before 1492.
I really would like to know why some pick that date and not 8,000 years ago. But then again scientists have now pushed back immigration to around 20,000 years ago.
So those who claim to be “Native Americans” are not really the first but just one of many waves to hit the new world.
