I've known about this for a while. www.powwows.com/2011/07/a-more-accurate-view-of-thanksgiving/... With that being the case, why do we think of the Pilgrims and Plymouth, Massachusetts for the national holiday of Thanksgiving? Like most of our history it comes from miss-history and the fact that most people think of the Pilgrims as these “incredibly righteous people” that invited the “savage Indians” to their first Thanksgiving so that the “savages” would not starve. This is incorrect history and information. Here is a more accurate historical Thanksgiving account. ... Please discuss...

The original Thankgiving story, as I was taught growing up, told about how NAs saved the Pilgrims from starving and freezing to death. The natives even helped them get started planting corn used fish for organic fertilizer.

From Roanoke Island, to Jamestown Island and further north to Plymouth Rock, the coastal Algonquians were at first friendly with the English, but after shown great disrespect and being subject to violence, these tribes took up arms against these colonists who wanted more than what gifts were offered.
