Do Native Americans Celebrate Thanksgiving?


I really don't know. Do they? If they don't, then they sure as shit should. If not, then I guess they're with the terrorists. That original Thanksgiving was such a sweetheart deal for them I can't even stand it. The Pilgrims bent over and took one in the ass on that trade, and the Indians gave them a reach-around with a sandpaper glove. The natives welcomed the Pilgrims with a feast of local produce and wild game, of which they were previously ignorant and risked starving to death without the knowledge of. To repay the Native Americans the Pilgrims offered very generous gifts of:
Forcing them off their historic lands through violence
Pestilence and disease
The concept of greed
Raping of their women
Theft of land through alcohol intoxication, of which they were previously ignorant
Loss of their cultural identity
Poverty
Starvation
Mass genocide in the name of a god that they didn't even believe in
Mascot representation for American sports teams
So they had better well goddamned celebrate Thanksgiving because they obviously cleaned house on that day. It is like the time I traded the Billy Ripken "Fuck You Bat" to one of my dipshit buddies for a Michael Jordan rookie card. In summation, the Native Americans got raped, got alcoholism, live in squalor in marginal lands no one else wants, got diabetes, got wiped the fuck off the face of the earth, got some sweet beads and shells....and all they had to give up in return was some food, a little wacky tobacky and some knowledge on how to grow local and organic. So pass me some turkey and be thankful, Keemohsaabe.

  4. It is truly amazing that we still celebrate Columbus Day. Like do you think the Poles still celebrate "Hitler Liberation of the Polish Peoples Day"?
