The Truth About Thanksgiving

What is the Americans really celebrating. Why do only americans and Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day? Read about Thanksgiving and why I hate Thanksgiving. Lies Taught in American Schools about Thanksgiving & Read the Truth! Thanksgiving the American Thanksgiving truth about the Indians & so called Thanksgiving Holliday. Thanks Giving No Thanks!

(sorry but in the may 2010 deletion of all my websites and paintings online I lost the large photos of the tribal body paintings and tribal face painting photos from past Thanksgiving Shows.) I guess the photo of tribal body painting there and Indian Face Painting or Indian Style Face Painting for the American Indian Face Painting page here will have to do. The main page will have more tribal paintings and Indian paintings like that as I do them or when I feel to add them.)

    I do not do Cowboy or land take over celebrations. That is just too much bad karma and morbid to me. Thanksgiving should be a day to remember the brave Indians that fought and gave their lives to try to protect and save lands over the time of the Take over of America.

Most schools in America try to tell that Thanksgiving  is a holiday to celebrate and be thankful for the friendship with the Indians. We were not their friends if you look through real history and facts. The events that took place show that we in fact slaughtered them to take over their lands. Much like we have done to many ever since. People think of the Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a big feast and celebrating. It seems that did happen only one time! The real truth about Thanksgiving is below for those that care to read on.

   The real story of Thanksgiving began in 1614 when a band of English explorers sailed home to England with a ship full of Patuxet Indians bound for slavery. They left a gift called smallpox for the remaining Indians. That virtually wiped out those who had escaped the explorers. When the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian. The Indians name was Squanto. He not only survived slavery in England but he also knew their language. Squanto taught the pilgrims to grow corn and to fish. Squanto negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags.

     Sadly the word spread in England about the land found in the new world. It seems that the Pilgrims were all talking of taking over the lands. Soon after the word of the new land spread the religious zealots called Puritans began arriving by boats to the (so called) new found lands. (These lands were not new to the Indians for it had been their home and land long before and evil Pilgrims set foot there.) Since there were no fences or security around the land they considered it to be in the public domain. With the help of other British settlers they captured strong young Native Americans for slaves and killed the rest. They then took over the land from the Indians that remained living. The Pequot Nation had not agreed to the peace treaty Squanto had negotiated and they fought back. The Pequot War was one of the bloodiest Indian wars ever fought. The Pilgrims killed all Indian Tribes & took over the lands in a brutal way.

   In 1637 about 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival. That is what they call our Thanksgiving celebration. In the early morning hours the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries. It is said they then ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot or clubbed to death. The terrified women and children who huddled inside and some were burned alive. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered. Sadly that is the story of Thanksgiving that has been documented in many places and it is the facts that they try to hide from most Americans.

  The Indians were not violent savage people as they would make you think in a lot of American History books and schools. The Indians were those that believed in Nature and protection of animals and other people. The Indians were amazing in many ways. They did not kill just to be killing or kill for lands and power as the usa does. The Indians were brave warriors that fought hard to try to keep their families safe and worked together to share and provide food, clothing and shelter to each other.

   THANKSGIVING one of the sick American Holidays. Canadian Thanksgiving & American Holiday Thanksgiving? Obviously Thanksgiving is an American thing due to the lack of truth being told. What kind of a country would celebrate the mass murder of people to take over lands. Why is the country so fast to believe a feast between Indians and Pilgrims took place and was peaceful. How could a country let someone like bush take over, how can so many people in such a small part of the world known as america be so brainwashed. Facts are they are not all brainwashed for when I was a kid learned the truth about thanksgiving and facts for myself. Sadly I am an american but, I have a brain that functions well. Grin. Of course Thanksgiving to me is a day of sorrow and time to remember the Indians. If you were looking for Indian art or Indian Style art and tribal paint check out leigh's bodypaint for tribal bodypaint photos and videos by leigh. My main page has free Thanksgiving Shows as a tribute to the Indians Slaughtered on that terrible day. In ways the Indians and tribes should always be remembered in the real way and for the truth.

This Thanksgiving as with all I am sure I will be around in ways doing something of paint or such to try to help me sort and pass the day with no tears but, what goes on in past and present through the usa is all so heart breaking. Souls and families lost for no reason at all and the lies they teach each generation. The cowboy and Indian movies you see are not facts. The facts are documented through history and there is truth if you only look for yourself.
