Surname 1 Student's Name Course Name and Number Professor's Name Assignment's Due Date True History of Thanksgiving The film undermines the prevailing narrative of Thanksgiving as a tranquil and amicable commemoration between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe. It uncovers the historical truths that are frequently excluded or misrepresented in the dominant narrative, including the enslavement, massacre, and displacement of Native Americans by the colonizers, the resistance and endurance of the Indigenous population, and the ongoing fight for self-governance and fairness (Rose, 2:41-24:17). The film further emphasizes the variety and abundance of Native American cultures, customs, and values and their resilience and prosperity in the face of long-lasting persecution and genocide. The film prompts us to reconsider our comprehension of Thanksgiving and to recognize the authentic history and current circumstances of Native Americans (Rose, 24:17-34:19). Furthermore, it emphasizes the need to revere and admire the Indigenous people and acknowledge their significant contributions to this territory. It also encourages us to assist them in safeguarding their rights, habitats, and cultural heritage. The film serves as a potent and motivating reminder that Thanksgiving encompasses more than just expressing thanks; it is also an occasion for introspection, acquiring knowledge, and taking action. The film is very informative and enlightening, as it exposes the stark realities and inequities that Native Americans have encountered and still confront in the United States (Rose, 24:17-34:19). I acquired extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Native Americans, which is often disregarded or misrepresented in popular media and educational institutions. I have profound sorrow and intense anger over the genocide, forced

I find it deplorable and disgraceful that Native Americans continue to be deprived of their fundamental rights and respect. At the same time, their territories and resources are being unlawfully appropriated and devastated by businesses and industries.
