Every year as Thanksgiving approaches, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Americans alike often ask: How should we understand the history of this half-spurious holiday? Without doubt, Thanksgiving is a folk tradition concocted by settlers to whitewash colonial genocide. It is also a commemoration of the Wampanoag tribe’s agency in its diplomatic dealings with English newcomers. And a religious ceremony with deep Biblical roots. It’s probably healthy to retell these intertwined histories every year.
