"We Native people have no reason to celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims," said Kisha James, a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag and Oglala Lakota tribes and the granddaughter of Wamsutta Frank James, the event's founder.

"We want to educate people so that they understand the stories we all learned in school about the first Thanksgiving are nothing but lies. Wampanoag and other Indigenous people have certainly not lived happily ever after since the arrival of the Pilgrims," James said.

In no way did I intend to offend any native Americans and I don't really think of Thanksgiving in Pilgrim terms after all these years, To me it has just morphed into a holiday to take pause, give thanks for being alive, and be with those who are dear to us, beaucoup respect for Native Americans and can certainly understand how the arrival of the "White Man" on this Continent is nothing to celebrate for you and your culture.ccguns
