I didn’t know because no one ever told us the truth. Until they did. That truth came for me 25 years ago. I was teaching kindergarten and getting ready to do all the pilgrim-Indian things we always did on Thanksgiving. A mother came to me and said she didn’t want her son participating. They were Lenape and she told me the truth. That day, my feelings about Thanksgiving changed. That day, I changed how I taught about Thanksgiving. I’m still
thankful but for a whole different set of values.
