MYTHS AND MISGIVING
ACTION 1
Most school children
are taught that Native Americans helped the Pilgrims and were invited
to the first Thanksgiving feast. Their conceptions of Native
Americans often develop out of media portrayals and classroom role playing.
But
this early conception of Native Americans is both inaccurate and unfair
and do not correspond to the historical facts, which
explain why many Native American today call Thanksgiving a "Day
of Mourning". Peaceful relations between Native Americans and the
colonists didn't continue for long. Why? What happened?
