where ever the Europeans went they brought with them disease, greed, and death. this is terrible i don't celebrate this day (or any holiday) especially because European holidays comes with much falsehood. But we can not condemn the ancestors of the Europeans just educate them, or what they think is tradition.
The only video I've seen about 'Thanksgiving' which dares to show the truth of the repercussions of the Puritans wiping out natives. A BIG thank you--this white American is willing to look at the truth.
I grew up in Springfield,Massachusetts.Back in the 60's going to school they never really taught us much about the Indians .My friend and I used to go to play around King Philips Stockade and I would always ask who was King Philip and why do they call it a "Stockade" instead of a tomb and what was a stockade? Finally, when the Internet came to being I educated myself. What a sad and shameful history we have.
@Gwiz1280 Finally a person willing to look at the truth. There are few Native Americans in New England--where did they go? Murder, disease, theft, slavery. The Peqots were shoved in a burning pit and burned alive.
yes I am ashamed of the white mans treatment to indigenous tribes in australia and america and many other countries why? because they thought they were more (civilised) oh please rape the earth they did and the peop;e
I'm white, & I have 2 admit what those Europeans did 2 those Natives puts my race 2 shame. It's sad that they stole, raped, enslaved & killed those who welcomed them into their rightfully-owned land + offered them shelter, taught them how 2 fish, grow corn & were fed by them. If not for them, I'm sure my ancestors would've died of starvation. SMH...Just when I thought enslaving blacks was as evil as we could get, I then learnt of this, SMDH. -.-
@kirbysuperstar1000 - You're a fucking idiot. You really are stupid. You're too stupid to see you're just being demoralized by Cultural Marxists. What a fucking tool!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What a crock of crap this video is. If it weren't for European settlers taking over this land, the Indians would still be running around stealing,raping and killing each other. You gotta remember, the Injuns were stupid enough to trade Manhattan island for a handful of trinkets and some booze. It was inevitable the more advanced civilization would win in the end.
Native Americans only mistake with the White Man was trusting them and letting them intrude on their land. Because of this, they have suffered for about the last 500 yrs. They have taught me so much more that anything that I have learned from the white men. I was so proud to find out I have not only white blood in me, but plenty of Native American blood, also. Blood I am proud and honored to have. What beauty and great lessons we can learn from them, lost arts, lost knowledge...proud to learn.
I love the Native Americans and have always had a fascination and respect and love for them as a people and their wisdom, grace, beauty and ways of life. I just found out about 2 years ago while doing genealogy for over 20 years, that I don't just have Irish, German, English, Scottish, and Dutch in my ancestry, but also Hopi, and Patawomeck, and Cherokee.
Not only did the white men murder, rape, pillage and steal from them, but almost wiped out whole tribes, like in the case of the Patawomeck. Then just tended to acknowledge them in this country as a tribe with many smaller tribes. They finally legally recognized them as late as 2010, with help from Wayne Newton and others. They are the tribe we should all know, that greeted the Pilgrims and shared what they had that first Thanksgiving in Virginia and to which Pocahontas was from.
Thanksgiving was genocide to the Native American people. The white man (as usual) decided to take over someone elses land. Just remember that there is karma and consequences to those actions and their ancestors will always be heard. Many Native American tribes taught healing and were connected to this planet. (which is something everyone needs to learn nowadays. It is our home.)
@Lululila67 I agree. And they are still teaching us today, about our gifts from Mother Earth, how to be one with our Eart, and love our Mother Earth, and not to just keep taking and wasting and destroying everything in our paths. I love and respect them so much, and think they are the most beautiful people.
None of us really know exactly how this all went down, and I'm sure there are 2 sides to this story, too. I do tend to believe that the Native Americans did get the worst of this, and that White Man were selfish, greedy intruders. I have always felt this way, since I was just a small child, something that I have always felt and sensed in my soul about the injustices of it all, before I even knew much about this at all, except what I learned in a white mans Public School.
I am not saying that the version of the story most often told is correct, but neither is this. The Wampanoag asked for assistance with another neighboring tribe who was at war with the Wampanoag, which they did. Did settlers continue to be as accepting as the Quaker Pilgrims? No. That doesn't change the story of these 57 pilgrims and their friends, the Wampanoag Indians. As far as disease goes, the pilgrims didn't know what would happen, germ biology wasn't exactly a known science.
@smarterthan98 maybe not at first, but very quickly english leaders are documented as intentionally trading blankets infected with smallpox for the purpose of killing people.
@smarterthan98 Regardless of whether they knew about germ biology, they knew enough that it was contagious, how it spread, and from everything I 've read, they knew they where spreading an epidemic of death to these tribes. And most tribes had no choice, but to fight and die, or be forced to give up not only their land and rights, but their women in many cases, and often children, along with any thing else the white man could steal or take from the. By force, under duress, or by violence.
@katasstrophy No, not the early settlers, like the pilgrims. They had no idea how germs spread, or any idea about immunities in the Native Americans. Now if you are talking about when the army passed out blankets known to be contaminated with smallpox, we are talking about a 300 year difference. Don't lay every sin any white man has ever done at my feet simply cause I'm white! My family was in Ireland until the 1880's! The past is ugly, but it is what is.
and the NEW AMERICAN (white) GOVERNMENT passed out SMALL POX INFECTED BLANKETS TO THE FIRST REAL NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE...so why does anyone CELEBRATE MASS MURDER, THANKSGIVING IS LIKE CELEBRATING AUSCHWITZ IT IS DISGUSTING AND JUST PLAIN EVIL AND WRONG!
Pilgrams have nothing to do with the first thanksgivings in America. There was 3 more before this. One was very well recorded with the roanoke/Hatteras islands with the Egnlish in the 1500's. Hatteras tribe gave the English their first thanksgiving.
@Monasukapanough right gave them death and you should be ashame for following such a terrible thing gat a fricking life all this shit is white folk shit
The truth is that God is not a white God and he is of brown skin and Jew...A God to all nations, by the way God is a loving God and never wanted man to be against man. However, man is against man and always thinking of ways to stay small and desigrate themeselves in order to not make unity. Hmmmm the real problem is when a man says he is of God but the bible says some men will say and do things in his name but he will spew them out and does not know them.
@JunalGerlach Nobody will truly know how the creator looks like, as long as there is greed there will always be conflict. Humans have the ability to become united and strive for a better future yet they don't act upon it. There is no true man of God but only those who only seek personal benefit from spreading his word. Religion is man's worst creation. It just causes more conflict between each other.
the word "thanksgiving" was invented to insult native peoples. its like saying thanks for giving all your resources to us. total insult. no one 'GAVE' away anything, it was stolen from them by force.
As a Christian I feel ashamed that those citing the Bible speak like this to their fellow brothers, maybe not in faith, yet also created by the same God. If you are true Christians, than follow Jesus mandate of love. And to the Native Americans, please keep in mind that not all who arrived came with the intention of stealing nor harming you. Those who robbed or killed will have to pass God's judgement, so rest in peace in that. Yet those who arrived sick did not want to hurt you. Please forgive.
im white and my whole life i have never thought about the true meaning of thanksgiving..but since i have recently learned that i have native american ancestors and started to think more about thanksgiving........i looked up this video and realized my thoughts were right....and i will never again celebrate thanksgiving...ill mourn instead
@hotcherry015 actually there is not a single lie in there and if you did a small amount of research on your pc you could find out that the first thanksgiving was to celebrate the massacre of over 600 Indians including women and children and that in the civil war it became a national holiday to help with the morale of the north. there is also no racism in there. you seem to be completely unaware of the mass genocide and land theft that happened here and I encourage you to learn more.
Watching this video just really makes me a little irritated and angry. But I know that my ancestors would not want that. We have to push towards making this country better, and we must not forget who REALLY built this country up and was here first. The Natives deserve all of our respect and love, although they rarely get it.
It is time for a change, what goes around WILL come around.
i believe the piligrims were nice ppl. but also theres was some inmigrannts that werent piligrims and were killers and just wanted land and gold,,,,
there were more thn 2 grouos of inmigrants, those who really were scaping from the monarquy of Religion (ROME) and those who wanted only be rich no matter what
This was prophesied over three thousand years ago by our father Jacob (ISRAEL), what would befall us in the last days. Genesis 49:1 "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Vs.19 Gad (NATIVES AMERICANS), a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last". REPENT BROTHERS and come back to your True Heritage, WE are Hebrew Israelites of the Holy Bible. SHALAM
