One Person's Thanksgiving Is Another Persons's Sorrow

Tweet

Tomorrow is a truly wonderful day in The United States. It is our Thanksgiving and part of the tradition is eating too much. The food and celebration is wonderful but the majority of Americans will eat too much. I plan on doing so. However,on Thanksgiving, I stop to reflect about The Native American people. Because when the while man came from Europe, the live of Native Americans would change forever. And for the worse for generations to come. In my lifetime, my government has sought to remedy some of the wrongs done to these tribes but it was late in coming. I am not a politically correct person but the politically correct community has helped raise my consciousness about Thanksgiving and what it represents to Native Americans. And I feel that I am a better person for it. On Thanksgiving, I will celebrate and give thanks. And I will eat too much. But I also plan to reflect upon the hardships that the Native American people endured at the hands of White Europeans.
