Unit 2: No Thanks, No Giving

Does the current celebration of Thanksgiving reflect the historical reality?

 

No Thanks Given

The document under study is an extract from a documentary about how Native Americans denounce the unfair colonization of their lands. It was published in 2017 in the Huffing Post. We can hear the testimony of a Native American man, who is the co-founder of the National Day of Mourning. In fact, it is a celebration about what really happened in the 17^th century, when Native Americans were actually the real victims: their lands were stolen and they were slaughtered by the Europeans colonists.

(We will continue the study of the document next time. Be ready!)

Homework: Learn the lesson.
