I’m gonna leave this right here for Tom Cotton to read since he seems to understand little to nothing about why America’s Thanksgiving food traditions are problematic. https://blog.rosettastone.com/thanksgiving/ 

“When Americans think Thanksgiving, they turn to familiar narratives from their school days about pilgrims and Native Americans. But these kinds of origin stories are not only inaccurate but potentially harmful, especially to our understanding of indigenous food & culture.”

“As many historians have pointed out, turkey was unlikely to be on the menu during the first Thanksgiving. In fact, there are many discrepancies between the mythology surrounding the celebration of Thanksgiving and the reality of that historical experience.”

“The most significant of these is the whitewashing of the experience of indigenous people in America.

...It all really stems from this origin story that celebrates this ideology of harmony and unity among the indigenous population and the first colonists.”

“When you dig into the history, you don’t have to go far to realize how untrue this vision is & how unfair it is to so many people. 

...the basic history of Thanksgiving is trying to celebrate that colonial past of basically white America. It’s just so exclusionist.”
