Plenty of errors in this video. Less than half the Mayflower passengers were Separatists. The beliefs of the rest are unknown. The Separatists did indeed go to the New World to seek religious freedom. The Pilgrims did indeed steal corn they found in an abandoned house, but they intended to pay for it later. (They needed it for seed that would grow in the region.) While it could be said that the Pilgrims "invaded" Patuxet land, the Patuxet were all dead or gone (yes, because of earlier European invasion) and no one wanted the land because it was believed to be cursed. There were 52 surviving Pilgrims, not 50. The Wampanoag consortium did not exist in 1621. The Pokanoket weren't just political allies. They had a very friendly relationship with the settlers in Plymouth, who were distinct in beliefs and politics from the Puritans who came later and were much less respectful of the natives. Every Pilgrim description of the Pokanoket was of praise for everything from their appearance to their noble and honest behavior. There is no evidence that that first feast was an event of stress and distrust. The Pokanoket probably brought wives and children, not to mention five deer and other foods. The event lasted three days. Our Thanksgiving celebration should be a celebration of one of few, if not the only case of settlers respecting and getting along with and sharing food with the local people. For a better nd more accurate account of the "first Thanksgiving," read "Thanksgiving: The Pilgrims' First Year in America."
This TH-camr is conflating Plymouth Colony history with Mass Bay Colony history that happened much later, and even then there is a whole story of events on both sides that were violent. People should just read Gov. Bradford's account of it instead of this TH-camr's incorrect and unhinged version.
I grew up giving thanks for the pilgrims coing here and inspiring other to come here. It encouraged others to come here, one being a man froam Germany in 1765. He, along with so many others is what lead to me an my sibling being born. People from many coutries and native Americans are in my family. Sorry, I won't stop celebrating that. I also celebrate to give thanks for my family, health and good friends.
Because this video is a load of BS. The fashion of the time was that style. All you have to do is look at Rembrandt paintings of the time. But, the biggest issue is that little of this was true. There was a feast in 1621 and there were Native Americans of the Pokanoket Tribe present with the Pilgrims. All you have to do is read Gov. Bradford's account of the feast. Besides, this TH-camr is conflating events that happened with the Puritans of Mass Bay Colony with the separate Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony, and didn't even do a decent job of it. But, that is what you get when you are putting out propaganda. You tend to leave out many of the "troubling" details in your new version.
It's a National Day of Mourning. Started by UAINE-United American Indians of New England holds a ceremony ever year. This year marks the 50th year. There are ceremonies taking place all over Turtle Island including one called the Sunrise Ceremony on Alcatraz.
That was invented by our beautiful women that had NOTHING because white "men" took everything from us and replaced it with unhealthy nasty ass "food"! That's why obesity is a problem with us nowadays, we USED to be among the healthiest on the planet until white people came along...actual history.
Where does Canadian Thanksgiving fit in all of this? Is it the same? Or is there another story? Trying to educate myself, but all I can find are explorer celebrating and it doesn't talk about the pilgrims - which makes me think that's only American Thanksgiving, but that can't be true...
This story is misleading and is not at all the meaning or story of thanksgiving. Missing tons of information. The pilgrims were British but came from Holland as they were trying to escape the rule of church and state in Brittan. Squanto was a real man that spoke English because he was taken as an interpreter by the Spanish and managed to get back to America, I forget the details but he wasn't a slave at that point. The pilgrims believed god would help them and would have never excepted help from native American's, but Squanto who spoke English was believed to be sent by god. He did show the pilgrims how to plant and fish, but this is not why the pilgrims were successful. They had a socialist system under the mayflower compact where everybody would share their labors, food and the like. William Bradford saw this system was not forcing people to work to their full potential and gave them individual plots of land so they would have to be self sufficient. As a result they were prosperous and had plenty of food and gave thanks to god for their prosperity.
Well, if people are ungrateful for the settlers paving the way for most of you to be here, they could give their land to "natives" and move to whatever country their ancestors came from but they won't. Easier to just hate people who gave you opportunities.
Can we just be real that most people celebrating Thanksgiving aren't celebrating natives and whites getting together at all. It's a holiday of gratitude and family coming together. Now we' re all trying to figure out what stories we've been told are correct or not. Don't watch this video and think you've now been educated. Do some proper research. Don't just take anyone's word for it just like we've always done in the past when we were in school.
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🌈🌈🌈Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
What matters is that they inspired people to come to "the new land" leading to most of our ancestors to come here resulting in most of the people watching this to be alive. Stop being ungrateful.
Luckily I grew up in an area where this was widely talked about so my kids have always known and they aren’t allowed to dress up for or attend school plays about thanksgiving and the “pilgrims” making peace.. nah they know the truth
This telling is revisionist history meant to make modern Americans feel guilty for things that either never happened or that happened but only tell a one sided story. The next time you have 100 armed soldiers show up to your party of supposed "terrible people", you know your family and friends, you let me know how it goes. Lol. People will believe anything... Also, they are conflating the history of the Puritans in the Mass Bay Colony with the Pilgrims in the Plymouth Colony. They were separate colonies. Plymouth had 10 years of history with getting along with Native Americans before the Mass Bay Colony was established. This TH-camr can't even get that correct.
This is putting a negative twist on Thanksgiving... Some of what is said here is factual but twisted to make it look like a terrible holiday to celebrate
Why is it so hard to believe a holiday is fictitious and built on a lie? As Churchill alluded to, the victors write history. Think of all the awful things this country has done, whether slavery or intentional exposing members of the military to everything from radiation to syphilis to known toxic materials, whether for research or just plain cheap, callous laziness. I think of it this way...we all have those family members that we know have done dirty deeds, and yet, do you still not recognize them as family, maybe even love them? You can love the sinner and hate the sin, learn the sin so as not to repeat it. Stop celebrating Thanksgiving's fairy tales and use the holiday to be thankful for that which you have. Just a thought.
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? WHAT PART IS INACCURATE? IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM. THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT FUCKING "HOLIDAY". IT WAS INVENTED TO MAKE RACISTS LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF OUR LANDS.
@@Dennis-nc3vw From a purely white perspective. How about you listen to the other half, huh? The bottom line is that TG is a holiday that is supposed to be about red and white unity, and we all know what whites do with TREATIES. Try again, settler. Regardless of what you think, white folks celebrating Thanksgiving is like Germans celebrating the "Good Years of the Nazi Regime". You know, when it was all about working class solidarity. Yeah, some things look good at first glance, perhaps on paper, perhaps if one is too trusting of a devil, but ultimately, nothing good resulted from Contact between whites and reds. Or between whites and ANY non-white People. Hell, whites couldn't stop even stop committing genocide on other whites. Y'all have a seeeeerious problem, and y'all need to solve it over in Europe, and leave these lands to the original caretakers. Let's just do that, alright? Of course you don't want to do that. Your ancestors built your security on the bones of my ancestors, and you like that security. And THAT is why we are at odds, and THAT is why Thanksgiving is a SHAM. It is 100% a WHITE PERSON'S holiday that no sane Native American participates in. P-E-R-I-O-D. And you really need to stop debating this. NOW. Because you have NO RIGHT to say anything about us WITHOUT US. Whenever you talk about Thanksgiving, YOUR OPINION DOES NOT MATTER MORE THAN A NATIVE AMERICAN'S. For fuck's sake, figure that out. You can't claim the holiday is about unity when y'all continue to keep Native Americans in concentration camps, either at the border or on the rez. You can't claim the holiday is about giving thanks, when none of you show any concern for the people you've stolen land from. Give me a break, yt.
@@pippenstein A white perspective? Please, I think I'm going to puke. It was white people who invented and propagated this myth that you were all just a bunch of innocent, magical, pacifistic little timber fairies before white people came and murdered you all in cold blood. White people celebrating Thanksgiving is like Germans celebrating the WWI Christmas Truce. Which they do. Not as an official holiday, but look at the comments on any video about the WWI Christmas Truce and they'll all be positive from Brits and Germans alike.
What's the truth about the First Thanksgiving? from Prager Univ is much more accurate. The many blessing we enjoy come from the values and principles we live by. The separation and negativity promoted by this remake of history only leads to depression, victimhood and paralyzation not the mind set or feelings needed for success or to create this the greatest Nation in history. Evil people promote negativity.
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? WHAT PART IS INACCURATE? IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM. THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT FUCKING "HOLIDAY". IT WAS INVENTED TO MAKE RACISTS LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF OUR LANDS.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Here's something to think about: Reconciliation is *impossible* until REPARATIONS are made. It's simple math. Y'all can't shout down into the reservations or the ghettos from fancy houses built on the bones of MY ANCESTORS, "can't we all just get along?" My People are starving because y'all white folks don't want to give up what you've STOLEN. You accepted STOLEN PROPERTY, KNOWING THEY WERE STOLEN. Worse, you aren't even taking care of the Land your ancestors stole: before white folks got here, resources were plentiful. Why did white folks come here? Because they depleted the resources at home. White folks forgot long ago how to really live with Nature, and to not create waste. And now they're trying to deny the Earth Defenders a voice, complaining that we just "can't get over it and move on." That's like Nazis asking Jews to just accept their "natural inferiority." No, I won't be patient with you. No, I won't be civil. Goddamn right I'm a savage. You keep stepping on my People and asking us to just accept your clumsiness is utter bullshit, and call us "racist" or "hateful" because we are tired of waiting for you white folks to GROW UP. I have no loyalty to you or your ideals or your ways or your values. I have little respect for them, in fact. Melt away, little snowflake. I'm not here to coddle you, and I'm not going to do the emotional labor of protecting YOUR feelings, COLONIZER. NO RECONCILIATION BEFORE REPARATIONS. The former is impossible before the latter occurs, and it baffles me as to why white folks JUST DON'T FUCKING GET THAT. Just because you didn't steal the stolen property yourself does not mean you get away with holding on to that stolen property when you COULD just hand it right back over. You can't call me "heartless" because I call punch your lights out when you roll up all casual in the car your parents stole from my parents. SIMPLE MATH. Figure it out, whitey. Until you all REALLY try to make amends, AND THAT STARTS WITH REPARATIONS, we have no reason to be nice to you. You're our jailors, you're squatters shitting all over our Land, you've got no respect for us or our ways and you'd rather see us all gone or wish we'd "just stop complaining". You snowflakes are like rich boys who just don't understand why nobody finds their ignorance and casual elitism amusing in the slightest. Stop your crying and start HELPING US. You all act like you have it so bad while literally we N8Vs walk in a post-apocalyptic nightmare EVERY FUCKING DAY because you zombies took over every inch of this land and have spread your noxious capitalism and christianity all over the world. You make comedies about how vain and materialistic y'all are, ignorant of the fact that that materialism exists at the expense of N8V America. And we're supposed to laugh along with y'all? Would you ask a Jew to laugh along with a Nazi as the Nazi burns the Torah? Funny to some, maybe, but.... Do you really think that we don't care about the land your ancestors felt good enough to steal through war? Do you really think that we have all just forgotten what our Ancestors expected of us, to take care of these Lands? Y'all come from OVER THERE -- NOT HERE, so of course you all cry when the fucking medieval churches burn. But NOT ONE OF YOU CARE TO SHOW UP AT STANDING ROCK. Hell, not one of you even cares to fight for environmental justice. Not really. Too inconvenient. Well, inconvenient for some, maybe, but a matter of life and death for others. Don't try to minimize the crimes you and every other settler commits every day. You're flagrant with how little you care for the Land your ancestors stole from mine. And you expect me to be "united" with you.... REALLY??
@@pippenstein Learn about human history you willfully blind piece of shit. You cannot be so insane as to think any place on Earth is in the hands of the same nation it was since the beginning of time. Just on the subject of "your people": Souix Lands were taken from the Pawnee, the Ponka, the Iowa, the Mandan, and the Crow, yet no one uses this to argue they had to right to defend themselves in the battle of Little Big Horn. The Iroquois stole land from the Algonquin. Blackfoot tribe took the land of the Kootenai, Flat-head Indians, and the Shoshone lands at the foot of the rockies. The Comanche drove the Osage, the Cheyenne, Arapaho out of their hunting grounds. Yet nobody, and I mean NOBODY supports reparations or redistribution from one tribe to another on this basis. NO ONE believes the British owe the Irish, or that the Comanches owe the Apaches and Tonks and the countless other tribes on the planes anything, or that the Zulu owe anything to the rest of the people in South Africa for the 2 million people they killed during the Mfecane. It's only when white people conquer or brutalize people who are not white that the sins of our ancestors pass down to us. Nobody believes the Turks owe reparations to the Greeks for stealing Constantinople. And you filthy, greasy little weasels never explain this double standard. I was born and raised here. This is my home just as much as yours. You can't lay claim to land on any other basis. You did not create this land, you simply found it. Do Americans have the right to the moon for the rest of eternity because we got there first? Or did the Russians already claim all of space thanks to Yuri being the first man in space? Your people are starving because of the reservation system. Nobody supports the reservation system except for PC liberal saps and ethnocentric Natives like you. Case it point, do you think we should abolish the reservation system?
Are the motives and feelings of the tribe documented? Science knows there are no native americans, or any other groups for that matter. Isn't there something better we could find?
No native Americans???? Your crazy. Do you actually think america was unpopulated prior to Columbus????? You must be really racist if you can't handle American. History. Let me guess.....you think the tooth fairy is real as well.
@Justin H clearly as the denotation clarifies... it wasn't "at" anything other than specified. you must live in some 'sparkly' kind of world to make some assertion like that....... "confirmation bias" is a real thing, so is denial
@Justin H look at the blue text, thusly "at" just as it says, i wasn't responding to anyone else or there would have been something suggesting to whom i was responding elsewise... "new friends" thats not even close to how the world works, they wanted peace because war sucks, they were not 'friends', but trade partners or more-over trying not to become serfs... they were clearly technologically weaker. its not hard to guess what the people were feeling. seeing a land raped by a clearly deranged people, given their lifestyle and balance with nature(of the native people). i'm not blaming the people of europe, but clearly the consciousness of man had become twisted there under 'imperial rule', its an obvious outcome.
Really why lie about the real reason for Thanksgiving. This is not the truth. Wish I could go back in time and talk to my pilgrim ancestor John Howland to find out the real story
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? WHAT PART IS INACCURATE? IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM. THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT FUCKING "HOLIDAY". IT WAS INVENTED TO MAKE RACISTS LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF OUR LANDS. SETTLER, GO BACK TO EUROPE.
Knowing the truth about Thanksgiving is as easy as reading the letters by Edward Winslow and William Bradford, which would actually be quicker than watching this video. This video is disingenuous.
If anyone feels guilty about what happened in the past which they had no control over, I suggest you give up your home and the land you live on. That will make things all better, right ? Sheeesh Everything that has happened in the past, "good" or "bad" has resulted in the society that we have today, not perfect, but the most advanced in history. Be thankful for that.
Native Americans are not all fair skin people. Some mixed with the Spanish, British and other colonists and lost their native language some did not. There were native indian people with dark brown skin, who people call black today, in America before the colonists settled. People in countries near the equator, people of the sun, such as the African countries, India, Hawaii, New Zealand, Fiji, Caribbean countries were mostly reddish brown, brown or dark brown skinned and were nomadic people. They were traveling in canoes around what we call the equator area. As you enjoy Thanksgiving, please reflect on the fact that if it wasn't for the grace of GOD and graciousness of the Native Americans, the colonists would all be homeless. Reminding ourselves that we are guests here, respect others, and pray for the forgiveness of the sins of the colonists and ancestors. Pray that they will give homeless people free and descent homes.
I’ve never heard Wampanoag or Massasoit or Pequot pronounced like that and I’m from New England. And I’m pretty sure most of this I learned in school. However. Read Of Plimoth Plantation by William Bradford if you want first hand accounts.
I wish we can fix thanksgiving while celebrating native-American heritage day together to make it up in good way from the real dark story because it's the time in autumn/fall bountiful harvest great feast and helping the poor also.
Good revision. One small point. Calling them "Puritans" is probably misleading. That was a separate political group that arrived in 1629 that formed Massachusetts Bay Colony. Politically the Pylmouth Colony - the guys who celebrated Thanksgiving in 1621 - was separate for many decades. You are conflating them. Not sure for what purpose.
THE PURPOSE IS TO UNMASK THE MYTH. There is enough fact in the video, esp. compared to the myth most people "celebrate" each year. Most WHITE people, that is. Red folks like me? It's National Day of Mourning. Look that up, settler.
@@pippenstein You are so full of shit. Most of this is a lie, or completely one sided. So, 100 armed soldiers showing up to your party is just a thing most societies do now, to make sure things go down in a respectable way? Shut up. I have studied the history of this period and there was a huge amount of back and forth with both groups respecting one another and then killing one another, etc. Anyone who believes that Native Americans involved were nothing but peaceful victims is a fool. Human beings are the same no matter their ethnicity. There are good people and bad people, but you being a racist wouldn't understand that.
This reminds me of the days when I used to pick up my kids from school and un-do the, "learning", they had been subjected to, within those walls. The only sad thing, now, is that I can no longer do this. (They are learning less and being lied to more. They are in their thirties and I hope they, mostly, have the discernment I instilled into their brains, and use it, well.) Excellent factual video/audio.
I hear you, I have the same concern, may God keep our children & grandchildrem hearts in the truth, may they remember and cling to the good we taught them
I just learned the truth about thanksgiving watching this! Started to do more research now. I am definitely not “celebrating” thanksgiving again. Wow this is shocking!
First of all, Thanksgiving isn't just about the history of this one event and one could argue that Washington and Lincoln's declarations wanting a national holiday to celebrate giving thanks to God was in itself what the holiday is about, and is based on a whole separate history which they don't teach in schools anymore. That would make America look good which is not what the NEA and Progressives want. Also, this is a fairly known revisionist-history retelling. Notice how it leaves out the actions or intent of the Native Americans? Although, I don't know if showing up to a party with 100 armed soldiers sounds very peaceful or unprovocative. I suggest you actually learn the history from an unbiased source. It is a story of both mutual respect and mutual feuding unlike the one sided story here. Humans are going to be human no matter what ethnicity. Btw, the "Puritans" were in Mass Bay Colony, and they warred with the Narraganset and Wampanoag, not the Plymouth Colony. They have conflated the history of two colonies into one. You should read Gov. Bradford's account of Thanksgiving and his take on the Indians they knew in 1621 to understand what the Pilgrims thought and did outside of the actions of the Mass Bay Colony. Which even the Mass Bay Colony's actions were not some story of their people terrorizing the Natives. It was a back and forth affair.
Too bad you never learned history! Of Plymouth Plantation is the personal journal of William Bradford (the leader of the Pilgrims) and contradicts everything you say. Learn some history.
You all accept this story as truth far too easily just like when you were children and accepted the "Thanksgiving Story", only the people of that era know the truth. If history teaches us anything its, believe nothing you hear and half of what you see
Correct.Dont take any History without the research- including this video! And certainly including all the anti-American news and History that now is becoming too common. Check it out yourself.
@@cherokeegypsy2617 I didnt mean this one so much- I was just extending the idea of not accepting any History without checking the sources, WHICH INCLUDES all the anti-American stuff we hear in the rewriting of History to make this country sound like it was founded on slavery, racism, and anti Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and our Founding Fathers
@@nickharris5231 Combine some brains, sense of truth towards facts, sense of truth towards the honesty and intelligence of who is presenting the information...and that leads me to much faster believe the Right and Conservative, than the Left and Democrats...But of course one should always try to check it out himself and do the research
Im not.buying the part about the settlers shooting off their firearms in celebration alerting the tribes, amunition and powder werent in ample abunance to go wasting it on shooting in the air.
Hahahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahaahahahahahaha You guys are nuts. And so we're supposed to allow teachers to tell our students that they're more then one gender?!?!?
@@nahidkhan4953 Why "the ones"? Please don't. All Tribes across the Americas, from Patagonia to the Arctic Circle are good. Don't pick and choose. That's not your place.
Mahtlactli Coat, I am of European descent. And, I agree with all of your points. However, I don't agree with your hate speech. Aren't we all related? Aren't you this settler's relation?
@@kathybentley4190 Which is not to say that YOU AND I are enemies, or in bad relation. The emphasis on relations is because the One (Creator) is *everything*, and all are related to each other the way my stomach is related to my heart or my mind or my blood or my thoughts, etc. That doesn't mean all these things "get along" -- but they do echo each other's existence. An enemy gives a warrior a reason to be. So while they are at odds, there is respect, as well. I respect the aggressiveness of the colonizers the way I respect the warrior-ness of a grizzly. That doesn't mean that I am going to go hug a grizzly. ;-)
I can't respect what the 'settlers' did to the Natives of this continent! It makes me sick! And, still in this day and age, atrocities happen against Natives! I am overwhelmed with how wicked and evil some whites behave! I yearn for a day where all people groups are respected - not marginalized or held down. Thanks again - for saying that you and I aren't enemies. It means a lot! Blessings!
@Audio Back off Jack, I am as white as white gets. By no means am I anti-white. However, to answer you I must say I agree that there was warfare between Natives, however, they didn't seek to exterminate each other. The early settlers fought with the Natives, but the U.S. government tried and still tries to eradicate everything associated with Natives. This includes doing away with their traditional beliefs.
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? "SQUANTO" WAS A REAL PERSON, JUST HAD A DIFFERENT NAME. THE VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM.

The pilgrims believed god would help them and would have never excepted help from native American's, but Squanto who spoke English was believed to be sent by god. He did show the pilgrims how to plant and fish, but this is not why the pilgrims were successful. They had a socialist system under the mayflower compact where everybody would share their labors, food and the like. William Bradford saw this system was not forcing people to work to their full potential and gave them individual plots of land so they would have to be self sufficient. As a result they were prosperous and had plenty of food and gave thanks to god for their prosperity.
Well, if people are ungrateful for the settlers paving the way for most of you to be here, they could give their land to "natives" and move to whatever country their ancestors came from but they won't. Easier to just hate people who gave you opportunities.
Got one thing wrong they didn't get pulled into a European slave trade the were slave right here in the Americas.

Why is it so hard to believe a holiday is fictitious and built on a lie? As Churchill alluded to, the victors write history. Think of all the awful things this country has done, whether slavery or intentional exposing members of the military to everything from radiation to syphilis to known toxic materials, whether for research or just plain cheap, callous laziness. I think of it this way...we all have those family members that we know have done dirty deeds, and yet, do you still not recognize them as family, maybe even love them? You can love the sinner and hate the sin, learn the sin so as not to repeat it. Stop celebrating Thanksgiving's fairy tales and use the holiday to be thankful for that which you have. Just a thought.
And the story of a man flying around the world dropping off presents is real?
This is completely distorted and skewed.
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? WHAT PART IS INACCURATE? IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM. THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT FUCKING "HOLIDAY". IT WAS INVENTED TO MAKE RACISTS LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF OUR LANDS.
@@pippenstein I named 6 inaccuracies and distortions in my first comment on this video.
@@Dennis-nc3vw From a purely white perspective. How about you listen to the other half, huh? The bottom line is that TG is a holiday that is supposed to be about red and white unity, and we all know what whites do with TREATIES.
Try again, settler. Regardless of what you think, white folks celebrating Thanksgiving is like Germans celebrating the "Good Years of the Nazi Regime". You know, when it was all about working class solidarity.
Yeah, some things look good at first glance, perhaps on paper, perhaps if one is too trusting of a devil, but ultimately, nothing good resulted from Contact between whites and reds. Or between whites and ANY non-white People. Hell, whites couldn't stop even stop committing genocide on other whites.
Y'all have a seeeeerious problem, and y'all need to solve it over in Europe, and leave these lands to the original caretakers. Let's just do that, alright?
Of course you don't want to do that. Your ancestors built your security on the bones of my ancestors, and you like that security. And THAT is why we are at odds, and THAT is why Thanksgiving is a SHAM. It is 100% a WHITE PERSON'S holiday that no sane Native American participates in. P-E-R-I-O-D.
And you really need to stop debating this. NOW. Because you have NO RIGHT to say anything about us WITHOUT US. Whenever you talk about Thanksgiving, YOUR OPINION DOES NOT MATTER MORE THAN A NATIVE AMERICAN'S. For fuck's sake, figure that out.
You can't claim the holiday is about unity when y'all continue to keep Native Americans in concentration camps, either at the border or on the rez. You can't claim the holiday is about giving thanks, when none of you show any concern for the people you've stolen land from.
Give me a break, yt.
@@pippenstein A white perspective? Please, I think I'm going to puke. It was white people who invented and propagated this myth that you were all just a bunch of innocent, magical, pacifistic little timber fairies before white people came and murdered you all in cold blood. White people celebrating Thanksgiving is like Germans celebrating the WWI Christmas Truce. Which they do. Not as an official holiday, but look at the comments on any video about the WWI Christmas Truce and they'll all be positive from Brits and Germans alike.
wado
What's the truth about the First Thanksgiving? from Prager Univ is much more accurate. The many blessing we enjoy come from the values and principles we live by. The separation and negativity promoted by this remake of history only leads to depression, victimhood and paralyzation not the mind set or feelings needed for success or to create this the greatest Nation in history. Evil people promote negativity.
EXCUSE ME, SETTLER? WHAT PART IS INACCURATE? IT IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE... STOP SPREADING WHITE LIES. THANKSGIVING IS A FUCKING SHAM. THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT FUCKING "HOLIDAY". IT WAS INVENTED TO MAKE RACISTS LIKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF OUR LANDS.
Imagine having such a filthy, diseased, maggot infested heart that a moment of peace and unity offends you.
@Drink Water AMEN.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Here's something to think about: Reconciliation is *impossible* until REPARATIONS are made. It's simple math. Y'all can't shout down into the reservations or the ghettos from fancy houses built on the bones of MY ANCESTORS, "can't we all just get along?"
My People are starving because y'all white folks don't want to give up what you've STOLEN. You accepted STOLEN PROPERTY, KNOWING THEY WERE STOLEN. Worse, you aren't even taking care of the Land your ancestors stole: before white folks got here, resources were plentiful. Why did white folks come here? Because they depleted the resources at home.
White folks forgot long ago how to really live with Nature, and to not create waste. And now they're trying to deny the Earth Defenders a voice, complaining that we just "can't get over it and move on." That's like Nazis asking Jews to just accept their "natural inferiority."
No, I won't be patient with you. No, I won't be civil. Goddamn right I'm a savage. You keep stepping on my People and asking us to just accept your clumsiness is utter bullshit, and call us "racist" or "hateful" because we are tired of waiting for you white folks to GROW UP. I have no loyalty to you or your ideals or your ways or your values. I have little respect for them, in fact. Melt away, little snowflake. I'm not here to coddle you, and I'm not going to do the emotional labor of protecting YOUR feelings, COLONIZER.
NO RECONCILIATION BEFORE REPARATIONS. The former is impossible before the latter occurs, and it baffles me as to why white folks JUST DON'T FUCKING GET THAT. Just because you didn't steal the stolen property yourself does not mean you get away with holding on to that stolen property when you COULD just hand it right back over.
You can't call me "heartless" because I call punch your lights out when you roll up all casual in the car your parents stole from my parents. SIMPLE MATH. Figure it out, whitey. Until you all REALLY try to make amends, AND THAT STARTS WITH REPARATIONS, we have no reason to be nice to you. You're our jailors, you're squatters shitting all over our Land, you've got no respect for us or our ways and you'd rather see us all gone or wish we'd "just stop complaining".
You snowflakes are like rich boys who just don't understand why nobody finds their ignorance and casual elitism amusing in the slightest. Stop your crying and start HELPING US.
You all act like you have it so bad while literally we N8Vs walk in a post-apocalyptic nightmare EVERY FUCKING DAY because you zombies took over every inch of this land and have spread your noxious capitalism and christianity all over the world. You make comedies about how vain and materialistic y'all are, ignorant of the fact that that materialism exists at the expense of N8V America. And we're supposed to laugh along with y'all?
Would you ask a Jew to laugh along with a Nazi as the Nazi burns the Torah? Funny to some, maybe, but....
Do you really think that we don't care about the land your ancestors felt good enough to steal through war? Do you really think that we have all just forgotten what our Ancestors expected of us, to take care of these Lands? Y'all come from OVER THERE -- NOT HERE, so of course you all cry when the fucking medieval churches burn. But NOT ONE OF YOU CARE TO SHOW UP AT STANDING ROCK. Hell, not one of you even cares to fight for environmental justice. Not really.
Too inconvenient.
Well, inconvenient for some, maybe, but a matter of life and death for others.
Don't try to minimize the crimes you and every other settler commits every day. You're flagrant with how little you care for the Land your ancestors stole from mine. And you expect me to be "united" with you....
REALLY??
@@pippenstein Learn about human history you willfully blind piece of shit. You cannot be so insane as to think any place on Earth is in the hands of the same nation it was since the beginning of time. Just on the subject of "your people": Souix Lands were taken from the Pawnee, the Ponka, the Iowa, the Mandan, and the Crow, yet no one uses this to argue they had to right to defend themselves in the battle of Little Big Horn. The Iroquois stole land from the Algonquin. Blackfoot tribe took the land of the Kootenai, Flat-head Indians, and the Shoshone lands at the foot of the rockies. The Comanche drove the Osage, the Cheyenne, Arapaho out of their hunting grounds. Yet nobody, and I mean NOBODY supports reparations or redistribution from one tribe to another on this basis.
NO ONE believes the British owe the Irish, or that the Comanches owe the Apaches and Tonks and the countless other tribes on the planes anything, or that the Zulu owe anything to the rest of the people in South Africa for the 2 million people they killed during the Mfecane. It's only when white people conquer or brutalize people who are not white that the sins of our ancestors pass down to us. Nobody believes the Turks owe reparations to the Greeks for stealing Constantinople. And you filthy, greasy little weasels never explain this double standard.
I was born and raised here. This is my home just as much as yours. You can't lay claim to land on any other basis. You did not create this land, you simply found it. Do Americans have the right to the moon for the rest of eternity because we got there first? Or did the Russians already claim all of space thanks to Yuri being the first man in space?
Your people are starving because of the reservation system. Nobody supports the reservation system except for PC liberal saps and ethnocentric Natives like you. Case it point, do you think we should abolish the reservation system?
Thanks for the truth!

@@georgevalco215 -He has "smokey" wisdom on his side, lol.
it is a great video !
The only way I celebrate native American heritage day is if it's on a day of their choice and the name is changed.
Love me some turkey... 🦃
Are the motives and feelings of the tribe documented?
Science knows there are no native americans, or any other groups for that matter. Isn't there something better we could find?
No native Americans???? Your crazy. Do you actually think america was unpopulated prior to Columbus????? You must be really racist if you can't handle American. History. Let me guess.....you think the tooth fairy is real as well.
there was to much diversity/tribes to name each in a summation, however, "first nation" people is pretty good phrase.
@Justin H this statement says nothing..
@Justin H clearly as the denotation clarifies... it wasn't "at" anything other than specified. you must live in some 'sparkly' kind of world to make some assertion like that....... "confirmation bias" is a real thing, so is denial
@Justin H look at the blue text, thusly "at" just as it says, i wasn't responding to anyone else or there would have been something suggesting to whom i was responding elsewise...
"new friends" thats not even close to how the world works, they wanted peace because war sucks, they were not 'friends', but trade partners or more-over trying not to become serfs... they were clearly technologically weaker. its not hard to guess what the people were feeling. seeing a land raped by a clearly deranged people, given their lifestyle and balance with nature(of the native people).
i'm not blaming the people of europe, but clearly the consciousness of man had become twisted there under 'imperial rule', its an obvious outcome.
Really why lie about the real reason for Thanksgiving. This is not the truth. Wish I could go back in time and talk to my pilgrim ancestor John Howland to find out the real story

Knowing the truth about Thanksgiving is as easy as reading the letters by Edward Winslow and William Bradford, which would actually be quicker than watching this video. This video is disingenuous.

LIAR
If anyone feels guilty about what happened in the past which they had no control over, I suggest you give up your home and the land you live on. That will make things all better, right ? Sheeesh Everything that has happened in the past, "good" or "bad" has resulted in the society that we have today, not perfect, but the most advanced in history. Be thankful for that.
Native Americans are not all fair skin people. Some mixed with the Spanish, British and other colonists and lost their native language some did not. There were native indian people with dark brown skin, who people call black today, in America before the colonists settled. People in countries near the equator, people of the sun, such as the African countries, India, Hawaii, New Zealand, Fiji, Caribbean countries were mostly reddish brown, brown or dark brown skinned and were nomadic people. They were traveling in canoes around what we call the equator area.
As you enjoy Thanksgiving, please reflect on the fact that if it wasn't for the grace of GOD and graciousness of the Native Americans, the colonists would all be homeless. Reminding ourselves that we are guests here, respect others, and pray for the forgiveness of the sins of the colonists and ancestors. Pray that they will give homeless people free and descent homes.
I’ve never heard Wampanoag or Massasoit or Pequot pronounced like that and I’m from New England.
And I’m pretty sure most of this I learned in school. However. Read Of Plimoth Plantation by William Bradford if you want first hand accounts.
Bravo, romansnowlilly!
Thank you for your recommendation.
I am with Cherokees and other tribes......
I wish we can fix thanksgiving while celebrating native-American heritage day together to make it up in good way from the real dark story because it's the time in autumn/fall bountiful harvest great feast and helping the poor also.
Good revision. One small point. Calling them "Puritans" is probably misleading. That was a separate political group that arrived in 1629 that formed Massachusetts Bay Colony. Politically the Pylmouth Colony - the guys who celebrated Thanksgiving in 1621 - was separate for many decades. You are conflating them. Not sure for what purpose.
THE PURPOSE IS TO UNMASK THE MYTH. There is enough fact in the video, esp. compared to the myth most people "celebrate" each year. Most WHITE people, that is. Red folks like me? It's National Day of Mourning. Look that up, settler.
@@pippenstein You are so full of shit. Most of this is a lie, or completely one sided. So, 100 armed soldiers showing up to your party is just a thing most societies do now, to make sure things go down in a respectable way? Shut up. I have studied the history of this period and there was a huge amount of back and forth with both groups respecting one another and then killing one another, etc. Anyone who believes that Native Americans involved were nothing but peaceful victims is a fool. Human beings are the same no matter their ethnicity. There are good people and bad people, but you being a racist wouldn't understand that.
This reminds me of the days when I used to pick up my kids from school and un-do the, "learning", they had been subjected to, within those walls.
The only sad thing, now, is that I can no longer do this. (They are learning less and being lied to more. They are in their thirties and I hope they, mostly, have the discernment I instilled into their brains, and use it, well.)
Excellent factual video/audio.
I’m a teacher and I refuse to lie to my students about history. There is literally no benefit in doing so. Why would I sugarcoat it??
I hear you, I have the same concern, may God keep our children & grandchildrem hearts in the truth, may they remember and cling to the good we taught them
darn we were rude to them right?
Ur chinese?
I just learned the truth about thanksgiving watching this! Started to do more research now. I am definitely not “celebrating” thanksgiving again. Wow this is shocking!
First of all, Thanksgiving isn't just about the history of this one event and one could argue that Washington and Lincoln's declarations wanting a national holiday to celebrate giving thanks to God was in itself what the holiday is about, and is based on a whole separate history which they don't teach in schools anymore. That would make America look good which is not what the NEA and Progressives want. Also, this is a fairly known revisionist-history retelling. Notice how it leaves out the actions or intent of the Native Americans? Although, I don't know if showing up to a party with 100 armed soldiers sounds very peaceful or unprovocative. I suggest you actually learn the history from an unbiased source. It is a story of both mutual respect and mutual feuding unlike the one sided story here. Humans are going to be human no matter what ethnicity.
Btw, the "Puritans" were in Mass Bay Colony, and they warred with the Narraganset and Wampanoag, not the Plymouth Colony. They have conflated the history of two colonies into one. You should read Gov. Bradford's account of Thanksgiving and his take on the Indians they knew in 1621 to understand what the Pilgrims thought and did outside of the actions of the Mass Bay Colony. Which even the Mass Bay Colony's actions were not some story of their people terrorizing the Natives. It was a back and forth affair.
Too bad you never learned history! Of Plymouth Plantation is the personal journal of William Bradford (the leader of the Pilgrims) and contradicts everything you say. Learn some history.
You all accept this story as truth far too easily just like when you were children and accepted the "Thanksgiving Story", only the people of that era know the truth. If history teaches us anything its, believe nothing you hear and half of what you see
Correct.Dont take any History without the research- including this video! And certainly including all the anti-American news and History that now is becoming too common.
Check it out yourself.
@@irar4665 How is this anti-American?
@@cherokeegypsy2617
I didnt mean this one so much- I was just extending the idea of not accepting any History without checking the sources, WHICH INCLUDES all the anti-American stuff we hear in the rewriting of History to make this country sound like it was founded on slavery, racism, and anti Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and our Founding Fathers
Hahahahaha, so he drops a damn Prager U link as a legit source. How's the view from your bubble? How can you prove that take is more accurate?
@@nickharris5231
Combine some brains, sense of truth towards facts, sense of truth towards the honesty and intelligence of who is presenting the information...and that leads me to much faster believe the Right and Conservative, than the Left and Democrats...But of course one should always try to check it out himself and do the research
Im not.buying the part about the settlers shooting off their firearms in celebration alerting the tribes, amunition and powder werent in ample abunance to go wasting it on shooting in the air.
The white man is such a bully
That massacre IS true then....I always wondered.
Now, teach us the truth about Honest Abe. He broke more laws than Nixon and Trump put together. hahahahah.
That is really messed up
Hahahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahaahahahahahaha
You guys are nuts.
And so we're supposed to allow teachers to tell our students that they're more then one gender?!?!?
History is always told from the side of the victor. I do know this, "what one envies, they destroy". The settlers wanted what the natives had.
The traditional amateur is a very simplified version of events. This video however is a work of fiction
Actually one should follow Native American heritage for every day and....
The ones who are like Cherokee and Kiowas and other tribes like Aluet and so forth.....
@@nahidkhan4953 Why "the ones"? Please don't. All Tribes across the Americas, from Patagonia to the Arctic Circle are good. Don't pick and choose. That's not your place.
Thanks for your incredible work educating us FNX. I’ve enjoyed this every time I’ve watched it.
Mahtlactli Coat, I am of European descent. And, I agree with all of your points. However, I don't agree with your hate speech. Aren't we all related? Aren't you this settler's relation?
Relations extend to even non-harmonious ones. Relations, when it comes to Native understanding, doesn't necessarily mean positive relations.
@@pippenstein Thanks for clearing that up for me. I misunderstood. Hey, I wish you the best. I hope that you are blessed by the Creator.
@@kathybentley4190 Which is not to say that YOU AND I are enemies, or in bad relation.
The emphasis on relations is because the One (Creator) is *everything*, and all are related to each other the way my stomach is related to my heart or my mind or my blood or my thoughts, etc. That doesn't mean all these things "get along" -- but they do echo each other's existence.
An enemy gives a warrior a reason to be. So while they are at odds, there is respect, as well. I respect the aggressiveness of the colonizers the way I respect the warrior-ness of a grizzly. That doesn't mean that I am going to go hug a grizzly. ;-)
I can't respect what the 'settlers' did to the Natives of this continent! It makes me sick! And, still in this day and age, atrocities happen against Natives! I am overwhelmed with how wicked and evil some whites behave! I yearn for a day where all people groups are respected - not marginalized or held down. Thanks again - for saying that you and I aren't enemies. It means a lot! Blessings!
@Audio Back off Jack, I am as white as white gets. By no means am I anti-white. However, to answer you I must say I agree that there was warfare between Natives, however, they didn't seek to exterminate each other. The early settlers fought with the Natives, but the U.S. government tried and still tries to eradicate everything associated with Natives. This includes doing away with their traditional beliefs.
Lool you really think squanto is a real person lool
