THANKSGIVING
MYTHS AND MISGIVING
MYTHS AND MISGIVING
Most school children are taught that Native Americans helped the Pilgrims and were invited to the first Thanks-giving feast.
Their conceptions of Native Americans often develop out of media portrayals and classroom role playing.
But this early conception of Native Americans is both inaccurate and unfair and do not correspond to the historical facts, which explain why many Native Americans today call Thanksgiving a "Day of Mourning". Peaceful relations between Native Americans and the colonists didn't continue for long. Why? What happened?
You may see
some controversial posters and campaigns.
Observe and read the following.
React and try to explain,
and understand!
