Is it time to rethink the meaning and traditions associated with Thanksgiving in the US?

Asked by jonsblond (43668points) November 9th, 2012

A Native American acquaintance of mine is posting information on her Facebook page about Native history and culture each day during the month of November. This is in honor of Native American Heritage Month and in protest of the history of brutality around Thanksgiving. Instead of posting a thankfullness every day, because Thanksgiving is a story full of genocide, this person is posting information on Native American culture every day.

I find this all very informative and I pause every time I see a friend post a reason why they are thankful each day of November. Just wondering what you all think about this.
