Selebrated after massacre of Native Americans.
The Truth About Thanksgiving: What They Never Taught You in School | HuffPost
"The colonists were contemptuous of the Indians, who they regarded as uncivilized and satanic heathens, and the fragile early peace between Native Americans and the early settlers would soon unravel in a horrific manner in what is now Mystic Connecticut, where the Pequot tribe was celebrating their own Thanksgiving, the green corn festival. In the predawn hours, settlers— not the Pilgrims, but a band of Puritans— descended on their village and shot, clubbed and burned alive over 700 native men, woman and children.
This slaughter, according to Robert Jensen, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, was the real origin of Thanksgiving— so proclaimed in 1637 by Massachusetts Bay Governor John Winthrop in gratitude for God’s destruction of the defenseless Pequot village. Thereafter massacres of the Indians were routinely followed by “days of thanksgiving.” "

Only WE would call it a massacre..in the past it was called Victory/Conquest.....in long past battles of conquest genocide was the norm...and nearly every successful battle/conquest was celebrated by song and dance/ feasts....so goes history..

Dude...its 2017
I just like stuffing my face
(Auto correct saved me for once. Luke is no longer stiffing my face)
Just make sure you clean your hands (!) before stuffing your face.
Although, Canadians were not as savagery about their Native Americans, they were not innocent, nonetheless.

Agree.No commentI don't have much influence on the actions of those from 400 years ago
My family came to Canada in the early 1900's. And no I don't feel guilty, any more than I feel guilty for what the King of England and the nobility did to the peasants hundreds of years ago
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
