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

relocation, and systematic exploitation inflicted upon Native Americans by the colonists and
the government. 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.
