Good morning frens! 🩷

Got this from one of our British friends today 😆😆😆

I learned a few years ago that the story we were taught in grade school about Thanksgiving wasn't wholly the truth.

I'm a modern American mutt with obscured family history. A lot of the details are unknown, lost to tumultuous relations and distorted stories I was told and then untold. My grandma Sharon (pictured below) was Sauk. She passed away on my 12th birthday. I was taught little about our family history but always got the sense that it was a topic of pride and honor. Yet it's not something I flaunt because I feel a sense of imposter syndrome, having minimal traditional knowledge.

I imagine I'm not alone in feeling this way. Hundreds and hundreds of years have passed since European nations collided with the first people's of this land. Some tribes have dissolved. Others merged to avoid eradication. Many are, to this day, sequestered to small portions of land with minimal resources. Many of us grew up as bastards of Native America. Not part of a tribe and with little history to rely on. At the same time, that blood running through our veins is loud. It demands to be acknowledged and honored.

When I first found out that many Native Americans spend Thanksgiving in mourning, I felt shame for not knowing the truth. I spent so many of them surrounded by family who warred over things like who got to make the green bean casserole as they gossiped over how bad Aunt Judy's mashed potatoes turned out.

But then I realized, there is still a purpose behind today, even if most Americans do not know the truth, or take it for granted. And one thing I know about Native culture, is that gratitude is a practice of great respect.

So today I wanted to share the truth about Thanksgiving as I've come to understand it. Not to make anyone feel bad or ashamed. Not to send anyone into mourning. But because I feel like the truth is more important than telling stories that make us feel good. And the truth makes room for a deeper gratitude when looked at from the right lens.

In 1621, 90 of the Wampanoag people and 52 English settlers sat down for a feast. For the English settlers, they were celebrating a successful harvest that they were able to achieve in large thanks to the Wampanoag people for teaching them how to work with the land. They taught them how to successfully grow the "three sisters" aka corn, beans and squash. Native peoples traditionally show gratitude for every gift of nature. From the water, to the air we breathe, to the seasons and to the food. It is seen as a blessing. A reward for hard work.

The Wampanoag people shared this practice through the first thanksgiving feast for a couple reasons. For one, they believed in honoring mother earth. In giving thanks to all she provides. And for another, it was a strategic move. They were being threatened by other tribes, by other European settlers and relations were highly volatile. One wrong move could start a war. This was an offering on their part, towards partnership and resources. Manpower.

This strategic move paved the way for strong diplomatic relations between the European settlers and the Wampanoag tribe. So much so, that both joined together against the Pequot tribe in the Pequot War where it's estimated that at least 700 Pequot were killed. This included women and children.

The conflicts that took place during this war affected conflicts that took place later on. Trade routes were changed. Lines were drawn. Land was captured. European colonization rippled across our nation as more and more tribes were massacred and disbanded.

It's important to know the reality of the history on days like today. Not just what makes us feel good. Many of us have not seen war like our ancestors did. Some of us have seen worse. And it's easy to sit here and say that any of us would've made different choices. But one thing I've seen in my life, is that the culture you are raised in largely impacts your degree of entitlement and how you display things like humility and compassion. In every culture I've encountered, there are those who are shunned for having outside views or practices.

We may have outgrown slinging arrows and spears or raids in the middle of the night - but we still ostracize, gossip and condescend to those who were raised in differing cultures. I can't count the number of churches I've been to who preached "we are the one true church and everyone else is deceived, corrupted".

Wars are still being fought over these very things.

So when you sit down for your thanksgiving feast today, I hope you consider the real truth of what this day represents. Not how it started. Not what we were taught in class. But of what it stands to represent when taking into consideration everything that has occurred in the history of our Nation.

We are a people merged. Our differences do not make us better, or worse than one another. They make us interesting. A million variables had to take place for life as we know it to be forged. For so many different histories and beliefs to reside on the same block as each other.

Today isn't about whether we smoke or bake or fry the turkey.

The real history stands as a reminder to teach our children about cooperation, sharing, compassion, humanity and generosity. Teach them humility and to be examples of what it looks like to tolerate differences. That believing one thing, or being raised one way doesn't inherently make a person better than another one. Teach them to respect the earth because it sustains life. Teach them to respect each other because the same Spirit that made them, made every other person in existence - no matter what we call it or the stories we were taught on how we came to be.

To be thankful for what we have today, because we never know what is waiting for us tomorrow.

Gm! We’ve had some very powerful energies coming in over the last few days. Yesterday felt particularly euphoric for me. Sort of an “all’s right with the world” kind of feeling.

And, yes, I know about the NG troops and the bullshit playing out. I’m not even talking about that. It’s more of an overarching sense of Peace that has settled into my life. Has anyone else been feeling something like that?

Anyway, here’s our Schumann as of 0600 hrs PT / 0900 ET / 1400 UTC

I’d love to write something profound this morning, but I think I’ll just leave it at…
I Love You.

And that’s why I do what I do. 💖

Here’s PDJT’s original post on TS:

“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…”
