The Real Story of Thanksgiving
http://returntonow.net/2016/11/23/why-thanksgiving-is-a-
national-
day-of-mourning-for-native-americans/
As told by the Manataka Indian Council:
The story 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 behind smallpox
which virtually wiped out those who

escaped. By the time the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay
they found only one living Patuxet
Indian, a man named Squanto who had survived slavery in
England and knew their language. He taught
them to grow corn and to fish, and 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.
But as word spread in England about the paradise in the new
world, religious zealots called Puritans
began arriving by the boatload. Finding no fences around the
land, they considered it public domain.
They seized land, capturing strong, young Natives for slaves
and killing the rest. But the Pequot Nation
had not agreed to the peace treaty Squanto had negotiated and
fought back. The Pequot War was one
of the bloodiest Indian wars ever fought.
In 1637, near present day Groton, Connecticut, over 700 men,
women and children of the Pequot Tribe
had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival … In the
predawn hours the sleeping Indians were
surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries who ordered them
to come outside. Those who came out

http://www.manataka.org/page269.html
http://www.manataka.org/page269.html
were shot or clubbed to death while the terrified women and
children who huddled inside the longhouse
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.
Cheered by their “victory,” the brave colonists and their Indian
allies attacked village after village.
Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the
rest were murdered. Boats loaded with as
many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England.
Bounties were paid for Indian scalps to
encourage as many deaths as possible.
Following an especially successful raid against the Pequot in
what is now Stanford, Connecticut, the
churches announced a second day of “thanksgiving.” During the
feasting, the hacked off heads of
Natives were kicked through the streets like soccer balls. Even
the friendly Wampanoag did not escape
the madness. Their chief was beheaded, and his head impaled on
a pole in Plymouth, Massachusetts —

where it remained on display for 24 years.
The killings became more and more frenzied, with days of
thanksgiving feasts being held after each
successful massacre. George Washington finally suggested that
only one day of Thanksgiving per year be
set aside, instead of celebrating each and every massacre. Later
Abraham Lincoln decreed Thanksgiving
Day to be a legal national holiday during the Civil War — on
the same day he ordered troops to march
against the starving Sioux in Minnesota.
The long, slow genocide
The documentary below explains how the genocide of the
Lakota (and Native Americans in general)
quietly continues long after the colonists wiped out the bulk of
them with small pox and muskets:
By conservative estimates, there were at least 10 million Native
Americans inhabiting what is now the
United States before European contact. By 1900, there were less
than 300,000.
By the late 1800’s, it wasn’t as acceptable to just line “Indians”
up and shoot them. Instead, they shot
the buffalo.

“The civilization of the Indians is impossible while the buffalo
remain upon the plains,” said Columbus
Delano, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, in 1870.
From 1871 to 1910, the US Army supervised a mass slaughter of
buffalo. In 1873 alone, buffalo hunters
massacred more than 1.5 million buffalo.
“As planned, our people became increasingly dependent on the
government for even the most basic of
human needs – food, clothing and shelter,” says the
documentary’s narrator.
In 1874, General Custer spread rumors that started a gold rush
in the Black Hills of the Sioux
Reservation. When the Sioux refused to sell the Black Hills, the
US Army started the Battle of Little Big
Horn, lost, and then went from village to village killing women,
children and ponies. The government
forced the Lakota to sign over their land with a “sell or starve”
campaign, cutting off food rations until
they gave in.
In the 1880s the US Government joined forces with Christian
missionaries to steal Native children as

young as 2 years old from their families and ship them to
boarding schools. They burned their clothes,
cut their hair, deprived them of family contact for years, and
used mental and physical abuse to force
assimilation into American society.
In 1883, the US created the Code of Indian Offenses to
criminalize indigenous culture and spiritual
practices such as the sun dance, the give-away, gifts for the
bride, feasts and medicine men.
Punishments included fines, hard labor, imprisonment and
withheld rations.
In 1887, Congress divided communal land of the Sioux
Reservation into individual parcels of private
property. “Our people had no concept of individual ownership
of our earth,” the narrator said.
“The Indian must be imbued with the exalting egotism of
American civilization, so that he will say ‘I’
instead of ‘we’ and ‘this is mine’ instead of ‘this is ours.'” ~

John Oberly, US Commissioner of Indian
Affairs
In 1889, Congress sold 11 million acres of the Great Sioux
Reservation including sacred sites and burial
grounds.
In 1890, the US government massacred 300 unarmed Indians at
Wounded Knee.
In 1924, Native Americans were allowed to leave their
reservations for the first time.
In the 1960s and 70s, US Indian Health Services physicians
performed involuntary sterilizations on
thousands of full-blooded Lakota women.
In 1973, more than 60 Lakota activists were killed for trying to
re-occupy the land at Wounded Knee.
A slow, silent genocide of the Lakota (and all indigenous
Americans) continues today.
Malnutrition
A combination of the buffalo slaughter, ever-shrinking
reservations on low-quality land and laws
requiring permits to forage for berries and other wild foods, has
left the the Lakota and other tribes

almost entirely dependent on the government for food.
Corrupt local tribunals run by “half breeds” keep most of the
money, leaving elders, women and
children without food. The food that is given to them is often
rotten and is mostly starch.
The result is disease never before seen by the Lakota people.
Heart disease and cancer are epidemic on
their Pine Ridge reservation, with rates up to 9 times higher
than the national average.
Life expectancy at Pine Ridge is 44 for men and 52 for women,
compared to the national average of 76
for men and 81 for women.
“Our bodies are attuned to protein, fruits and vegetables, but we
are given carbohydrates and sugar,”
one elderly Lakota woman said in the film. “We’re not really
who we are supposed to be.”
Environmental Destruction
There are more than 3000 abandoned open-pit uranium mines on
Lakota land.
“All that radio-active dust – we’re breathing it in constantly,”

the woman said. “It has gone down into
the ground water and the surface water – we drink it. The cattle,
horses, all the animals, eat the grass.
We pick berries – all of those are covered with radio active dust
… We have no clean drinking water at
all, none.”
By the mid 1970s there were 380 uranium leases on Native land
and only four on public or acquired
land.
Of the 1300 toxic waste sites the EPA has labeled “Super Fund”
sites in need of clean-up, 25 percent are
on Native American reservations, which comprise less than 2
percent of the land in the country.
Radioactive elements, heavy metals and toxic chemicals – like
radium, uranium, lead, mercury and
arsenic – pass from mother to child during pregnancy and cause
birth defects and miscarriages at a rate
6 times higher than the national average.
Assimilation
In addition to physical genocide, Native Americans have
undergone cultural genocide.
Most of the surviving elders today were victims of the boarding
school era, in which children were

punished for speaking their native language and practicing their
customs.
“Native students were beaten, whipped, shaken, burned, thrown
down stairs, placed in stress positions
and deprived of food. Their heads were smashed against walls
and they were made to stand naked
http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/10/u-s-government-532-
superfund-genocide-sites-indian-country/
before their classmates.” Stephanie Woodard writes in an article
titled “South Dakota Boarding School
Survivors Detail Sexual Abuse.”
Today, the foster care system perpetuates assimilation through
government-sanctioned kidnappings.
South Dakota removes 700 Lakota children from their homes
every year. 90 percent are placed in non-
native homes or group-care where their culture is lost, while
licensed Lakota foster homes sit empty.
Poverty
In Pine Ridge:
• 1/3 homes lack clean water
• 40 percent lack electricity

• 60 percent are substandard
• 89 percent live below the federal poverty line
• Every winter the elderly die of hypothermia from lack of heat
• Alcoholism affects 8 out of 10 families
• Lakota women are raped and assaulted at a rate 4 times the
national average
