Hello;
It took me a while to find this. It is a different perspective on the
origins of Thanksgiving.
It is too long to post so I thought I would post the location it can be
found. As usual the history
books only tell half the story. This is because the winners are the ones
who write and publish the
books.

By the way a good place for Native American Craft instruction is:

Enjoy.
