Remember, in your opinion, so there is no wrong answer! But you do need to explain your choice to the members of your group and have a friendly chat about it. In English!!

Slide 29 - Tekstslide

The Real History of Thanksgiving
The mainstream version of the Thanksgiving story paints a picture of courageous, Christian settlers, braving the perils of the New World and with the help of some friendly Natives, finding a way to make a new life for themselves.

But what about the massacres of Native tribes like the Pequot that took place in the years that followed. What is often not mentioned either is  that English settlers robbed Wampanoag graves and stole food from them in order to survive during their first years on this new continent.
Here’s a look at some of the reasons why Thanksgiving is a complex holiday, and one that all Americans should approach with greater sensitivity.


Slide 30 - Tekstslide

Why Thanksgiving Is Also a National Day of Mourning
It’s important to know that for many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning and protest since it commemorates the arrival of settlers in North America and the centuries of oppression and genocide that followed.
