I am a british-born native american (if that makes sense). My ancestors were all persecuted by the europeans, (my grandmother still refuses to visit us here in the UK), and I think the history of thanksgiving, though we don't have it over here, has been painted over with a nice rosy glow.

Anyone ever see the Addam's Family Values? I watched it as a kid and was overjoyed when Wednesday and Pugsley ruined the happy, joyous thanksgiving scene with the truth.

Oh, and the guy who calls himself Former Lurker - You say he doesn't want to look into the truth? What truth would that be? He is talking the truth! I assume you're american, so you've probably been brought up with the same rose-tinted view of how your people came to settle on America's shores - all polite and nice. Tell that to my people, who were driven out of their homes, forced to follow the Trail of Tears, some even murdered.

I applaud this guy - good to see someone stands up for what is right.
