The Truth About Thanksgiving....

11/20/2012

0 Comments

 
Many of you will sit down to your Thanksgiving dinners and give thanks for the blessings in your Life.  This is as it should be.  Truly, every day should be Thanksgiving, for we are gifted with many blessings every day.  However, on Thanksgiving Day, we should also give thanks to the Native American people of North America.  Were it not for them, none who have European ancestors would be here today, for their ancestors would have perished upon reaching the shores of this country.  It is very much appropriate to give acknowledgement and thanks for the many contributions that Native Americans have made to our lives and our country.  Most of you may already know this.  

However, what you may not know is that as thanks is given to the Native American people, Forgiveness should also be asked of them.  What for?  The history books do not reflect the Truth of the "real" Thanksgiving.  They conveniently leave out a number of facts that change our perspective on this celebration greatly.  Nowhere do the history books state that prior to the European presence, the Native American peoples numbered in the millions.  The history books do not tell us that European diseases killed 90%-96% of the Native population.  Entire villages died of European diseases and were left lying where they died.  There were none left to bury them.  Nowhere do the history books tell us that the European arrivals robbed the graves of the Native American dead, or that they stole crops and other goods.  The history books do not tell the Truth that many Natives were enslaved into European servitude.  

It is true that none of us alive today committed these acts.  However, the few thousands of descendants of those millions of Native Americans who lived here prior to the "European invasion" still bear the scars of those times through traditions and memories of peoples who still remember their ancestors with reverence.  As we live in a Time of Karma, it is most appropriate and opportunistic for us to ask Forgiveness on behalf of those who did commit these infractions.  It is Time to help each other Heal from the wounds of times past.  There is no better place to begin than now with the Truth About Thanksgiving.
