Indigenous Americans standing on shore watching the first European ships arriving must have had an ominous sense of foreboding. They should have built the damn wall!
And as for that first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims did not intend to invite the Indigenous Americans who had saved their sorry asses that first harsh, Massachusetts winter. They wanted a feat to thank god, who did NOTHING to save them and, in fact, allowed most of those who left England on their ship to die.
The Wampanoag tribe members saw them out hunting with their pathetic lack of skills, and invited themselves to the feat. Shocked at how little the Pilgrims had, the Wampanoag brought a bounteous feast. The Pilgrims would soon betray them with the first rounds of genocide.
Many surviving Wampanoag descendants today remember Thanksgiving the way the Jews remember the Holocaust (Shoah).
