Right! Part of my heritage is native black (descendants of slaves owned by Native Americans and therefore belong to the tribe). When I learned that the natives who interacted with the Pilgrims did so at the expense of warring tribes… I can’t begin to explain the confusion I felt about the holiday. I had so many questions.

Now I think of it as a time to get together with loved ones but we don’t do turkey, etc. and we don’t discuss pilgrims 😂
