Rethinking Thanksgiving – A Native American Perspective on an American Holiday

Rethinking Thanksgiving – A Native American Perspective on an American Holiday In-Person

This lively, content-based presentation will give an overview of the history of this very misunderstood holiday. Participants will learn accurate and culturally appropriate information about the English settlers at Plymouth and the Wampanoag, the Native people who inhabited that area. We will discuss the actual events of 1621 in Plymouth, the relationship between the English settlers and the Wampanoag, and how this story became the holiday we know today. Participants will learn how Native People, particularly the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), view the concept of "Thanksgiving."
