I went to an all Indian school for 2 years and we dressed up as Pilgrims, buckle hats and all. Thanksgiving is a good holiday. I think we all thought that giving thanks to the Creator, whether we had a bounty or very little was important. The details of the past events weren’t so important as the idea of people coming together to give thanks. As children, regardless of what we thought of the past; we liked the story and wanted it to be our future.
I always thought Thanksgiving was about “hope”, too, and I always loved the idea. Isn’t it strange that they (liberals) would elect a President on that premise, but they can’t stand the notion (hope) when it comes to actually putting it into practice?
