I'm thankful for my Kindergarten class who made these wonderful crafts to celebrate Thanksgiving.After the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims survive their first winter in America, the Puritans invited them to share the first Thanksgiving.Awe! Oh, these are adorably wrong.A five-year-old made that.Based off of the lies that you taught them.Excuse me?Oh, it's not your fault, these are full of half truths and historical propaganda.I thought the Native Americans and the Pilgrims were, like, besties, or whatever.At best, the Pilgrims and Wampanoags could be described as "political allies."By the time the Pilgrims showed up, not only were two-thirds of the Massachusetts tribes completely wiped out by European slave owners and diseases,the Pilgrims were constantly at war with the indigenous people and routinely tortured them.But what about Squanto, the Native American who learned English to help out the Pilgrims?He was actually a slave that was hauled off to Europe and then he learned English so that he could escape.But they did celebrate it every year, right?Not exactly, the next one was 16 years later and, unfortunately, it was because the Puritans were celebrating the massacre of the Piqua tribe.Back then, Thanksgiving was also for families, specifically, murdering them.Okay, we get it!History's awful, the Puritans were terrible, and now we have to let our children know that the holiday started with tons of killings.
我很感谢我幼儿园的学生们，他们为庆祝感恩节做了这些非常漂亮的手工。在印第安人的帮助下，新移民成功度过了在美洲大陆的第一个冬天。为了感谢印第安人，新移民邀请他们一起庆祝节日，也就是第一个感恩节的由来。听起来挺美，不过错得离谱。这是一个五岁的孩子做的。还不都是根据你教他们的那些谎言做出来的。你说什么？噢，不过也不是你的错，那些感恩节的说法，本来就半是真相，半是历史的粉饰。我以为印第安人和新移民就像，好朋友一类的。新移民和万帕诺亚格人(居住在美国马萨诸塞州东南部的印第安人)顶多算是“政治联盟”。新移民刚来的时候，不仅马萨诸塞三分之二的部落被欧洲奴隶主和瘟疫消灭殆尽，而且新移民不断和印第安土著兵戎相向，还常常折磨他们。那斯哥托呢，那个学习英语帮助新移民的印第安人又怎么说？他本来是个被掳到欧洲的奴隶，为了逃跑才学英语。但他们确实每年都庆祝感恩节，不是吗？不是，第二次感恩节是16年后，而且不幸的是，这第二次感恩节还是为了庆祝清教徒大胜平克部落。当时的感恩节也跟家庭有关，确切地说，是为了灭人满门。好了知道了，别说了！历史残酷，清教徒暴虐，我们现在难道还得告诉孩子们这个节日源自数不清的杀戮吗。
