Thanksgiving

Today I was looking online for information to use this week in teaching my children about Thanksgiving. As I browsed different sites I started reading stories written about the real "First Thanksgiving" not the one taught in government schools. Some articles talked about the feast that the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared then went on to talk about how the harmony between them did not last. Of course when I was in school no one ever brought that part up( at least not when talking about Thanksgiving). I think it is important to remember that one feast shared doesn't eliminate the future events.
I think that this week I will try to give a more balanced account of life between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. I don't want to just tell them the story of one feast between two groups of people. If we don't remember the mistakes made in the past we are doomed to repeat them.
