After all, there was very little fanfare last year to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims\u2019 arrival at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620, an event which President John Quincy Adams&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyrepublican.com\/plymouth-orate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">described<\/a>&nbsp;as the \u201cbirthday\u201d of our nation. But that seminal moment in world history passed with barely a mention.<\/p>\n<p>This year, you\u2019ll see more about the inflated price of Thanksgiving dinner than about the 400th anniversary of the holiday. And while it\u2019s true that Bidenflation has made this year\u2019s turkey feast the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2021\/11\/20\/bidenflation-thanksgiving-dinner-costs-hit-record-high-up-14-from-last-year\/\">most expensive<\/a>&nbsp;in living memory, no one who knows the true history of the first Thanksgiving can ever doubt that the Pilgrims paid a greater price for their meal than anything we ever will.<\/p>\n<p>But you would have to know their story to understand that. And these days, the Pilgrims are being airbrushed out of our cultural memory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, NPR&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/11\/25\/1059212893\/native-american-tribes-are-gathering-in-plymouth-to-mourn-on-thanksgiving\">reported<\/a> Native American tribes are traveling to Plymouth Rock Thursday \u201cnot to give thanks, but to mourn Indigenous people worldwide who\u2019ve suffered centuries of racism and mistreatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NPR quoted Kisha James:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p>\u201cWe Native people have no reason to celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims,\u201d said Kisha James, a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag and Oglala Lakota tribes and the granddaughter of Wamsutta Frank James, the event\u2019s founder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to educate people so that they understand the stories we all learned in school about the first Thanksgiving are nothing but lies. Wampanoag and other Indigenous people have certainly not lived happily ever after since the arrival of the Pilgrims,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on Twitter&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><em>@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year Thanksgiving was rated a less important holiday than last year, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Thursday.
