[DreamCrescent]

i mean football is alright and all…

[DrPepper12]

Reminding people all month that Columbus didn't discover jackshit

[DreamCrescent]

thank you

jeez the other replies. so mean

it was meant to be a lighthearted question

[msc545]

Well, I don't kill them or enslave them like our ancestors did, so there's that...

I'm not from America, but I respect the Native Americans.

[DreamCrescent]

🙏🙏🙏

Thanksgiving is not intended to be a day on which we honor American Indians.

[DreamCrescent]

nothing indian about indigenous americans.

and so, what? i know what Thanksgiving is

[RandomGirl42]

We honor them in our heart like we do everyday and on Thanksgiving we give thanks for the abundance in our lives and celebrate the idea of different people getting along despite cultural differences as they did in the week long feast that came to be known as the commercialized holiday we have today.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Acknowledge that Thanksgiving is a recreation of a feast that happened after one tribe of native americans teamed up with colonists from England to take out another tribe of native americans. The celebration of the end of a war, even on a small scale, is something we can turn into an excuse to make a meal that has pretty much nothing to do with its history anymore

[NaultD]

It was only around the early 1900 where the pilgrim spin on Thanksgiving. It's not that big of a deal. No one going hungry is about the best way to emulate any indigenous culture.

Personally I'd probably cheer for the Redskins since the original logo was an actual indigenous leader as a mark of respect for him and his people in what is now Washington state...

[DreamCrescent]

i believe the redskins changed their mascot. it was long overdue. what a cringe word

[DJB72]

They did, and I understand doing so was considered an insult by the descendants of the actual Native American whose image was on the flag.

You can run around in circles naked all day long. It's what they used to do. Everyone in town is naked anyway, because they never invented clothes, so all of their festivals are naked.

[KostasKouvalis]

I DON'T. I'm not indigenous so why would I honor them? They don't honor ME. I honor Columbus and the Pilgrims.

[DreamCrescent]

you live on their land literally.

[KostasKouvalis]

It's not theirs anymore. I don't live on the reservation

[lightbulb27]

I wish I knew some. I ate squash, thanks to them!

[docster]

I don't. Thanksgiving is for thanking God Almighty (Yahweh) for all He's given us.

[Caughtulookin]

I dont. I dont actually know how to. Most Native Americans that i have known drink or drug in excessive quantities.

[DreamCrescent]

there are some activities or get togethers or just a moment of silence or small marches. depending on the location

i went to one in Emeryville last year

[Anonymous]

I don't, natives want to abolish Thanksgiving, well I agree with them, instead let's celebrate the day Cortes conquered the Aztec empire and began the development of a backward Americas instead.

[YourExLover69]

They are one of the kindest people of the USA.

[loveslongnails]

For my family, Thanksgiving is about as meaningful as Columbus Day.

[beefcakebradybatson]

How 'bout clubbing a buxom First Nations woman?

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t. It’s disingenuous.

[DreamCrescent]

ever heard of faking it until you make it?

[emeraldsaphire]

I don't? What does that even mean?

[slatyb]

I buy them some land.

[Dargil]

We did in New England.

[exitseven]

I have a drumstick.
