Tweet

In the past I have had cause to call businesses outsiee the US and to recieve such calls on Thanksgiving and I have discoverred that for most cultures if they do celebrate Thanksgiving or the start of the winter months celebration simply does no coincide with our own holidays. Thanksgiving in America is the commemoration of a holiday get together between our native American peoples and the new white settlers. The settlers where dying of starvation and it looked like the Plymoth colony would fail again just as the Jametown colony failed before it. Thje natives thought that it would be bad luck to let another group of people die there and so they decided to help them. The point of the dinner was not only to feed these first Amricans but to establish the idea that there was plenty of things to eat out there, and the content of the meal was what the men had taught the men to hunt and what the women folk had shown them could be gathered and eaten. Were it not for the help of the indian people which was commemorated and which is celebrated as the day that the colony became viable and from which emerged all of American society and colonization Without their help the second colony of early Americans should have died also.
