@kingkkrule that's so true and idk about your school but whenever we do learn about anything related to bhm or poc its just repeated every single year and we never learn anything new! i had to learn the truth about colombus and thanksgiving (and so many more things that i can't think of right now) because the teachers are unable/unwilling to teach us about it. and if we do learn anything its very watered down and white washed and its sucks

@kingkkrule i'm really late srry. 
            basically as a lot of youth were taught the paxut native american named squanto did teach the pilgrims how to grow and gather food and they did actually have a feast. however, word spread back in england and more europeans came and this time they basically claimed the land and captured many native americans to use as slaves and they killed the rest. then the pequot tribe gathered for their annual corn festival (the day that we now call thanksgiving) and in the early hours of the morning the europeans ordered them all to come out, the ones who did were brutally murdered and the ones who stayed inside were burned alive.
