The document summarizes the origins of Thanksgiving and provides commentary on its history and meaning. It discusses:
1) How the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621 was more of a harvest festival between the Pilgrims and Native Americans after the Pilgrims' first crop was successful with the Natives' help. The Pilgrims had Schadenfreude towards the Natives' difficulties.
2) How future Thanksgivings celebrated the Puritans' advantages over the Native Americans in war, showing their growing Schadenfreude towards the Native people.
3) How Native Americans understandably loathe the modern Thanksgiving for its erasure of their perspective and role in the origins of the celebration.
