Native Americans and Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Turkey Day! I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and something caught my eye. It was the Onieda Indian Nation Iriquois Dancers. They were doing a creation dance. Native Americans were oppressed by the Pilgrims, yet these Native Americans were joining us in the celebration of "the first Thanksgiving". It is taught in elementary schools that everyone got along so great, and the Native Americans taught the starving Pilgrims how to fish and plant maize, but really there was a lot of bloodshed. I guess the Native Americans are putting the animosity of our ancestors aside and joining in the national holiday. At the end of their performance, they even wished peace for all.
