The True Thanksgiving
  I have never spent much time pondering the “true” thanksgiving. I thought I knew by logical deduction that Thanksgiving was actually the Fall Feast of the Wampanog People, who had taught the immigrants how to survive in the new land.

The animals agreed that they would take care of the humans and show them how to live in harmony with all Creation. The animals said, “We will sacrifice ourselves as food so they won’t starve. We will offer our skins to them so that they will be warm. We will teach them what medicines and ceremonies to use to heal themselves.”           more
