https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42 Is Thanksgiving about accepting other cultures and living together or is it an ethnocentric legend? (Comment at least three times either to this specific question or comments that are being said in the inner circle) en-us 2021-10-20 11:49:07 UTC 2021-10-21 16:27:43 UTC hello@padlet.com WarrenSprouse https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834037560 I agree with Tony, it was messed up that the Europeans that came to the Americas were portrayed as dumb and less developed.

I agree with Morgan, the fact that the Europeans thought so highly of their religion when the natives didnt, it would make the Europeans feel higher above the natives.

I agree with Marco, Thanksgiving is something that has the same exact tradition every year.]]> 2021-10-21 16:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834037560 24gantm https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834043172 Morgan made the point that we have this belief that America is the best and is always the best when it is not true and I agree with that. We have a lot of improving to do. Tony made the point that we tried to make Native Americans look as dumb as possible when in reality they were really smart so that was a huge social archetype. Religion also played a huge aspect in the Thanksgiving story and every holiday which Marco touched on. Julian made the point that we are trying to redeem ourselves through Thanksgiving, but it is a lie and we should come up with something new to replace that which I 100% agree with. It is a cover up for the bad things that we did to the Native Americans.

I don't agree with Marco because I don't feel like thanksgiving is a religion.

I agree with Tony that thanksgiving is about excepting other cultures and its a tradition because no matter your race most people in America celebrate it.]]> 2021-10-21 16:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834045562 https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834045864 - I agree with Morgan's statement when she said that the English think they are better than everyone and are more superior. 
- I agree with what Tony said when he said that they try to make the Native Americans look dumber and less advanced.
- I agree with Ohm when he said that history textbooks basically cut off Native Americans after mentioning the first Thanksgiving, and I agree with Julian when he added on that it discredits them and everything they've done or have happened to them after that.  
- I agree with Marco when he said that the Pilgrims credited God instead of the Native Americans, even though the Native Americans were the ones who gave them everything. 
- I agree with Julian when he said that Thanksgiving was basically a cover to hide everything that the Europeans did to Native Americans and what they did when they came to Americas. 
- I also agree with Morgan when she said that you can't fix a problem if it hasn't been addressed. ]]> 2021-10-21 16:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834045864 24figueroamercadoa https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834047789 I agree with Ohm that the Native Americans help so much with the Pilgrims succession so much and they would be successful without them

I agree with Toni with the fact that the Europeans tried to make the Natives tried to make them look dumb because they believed they were smarter than them.

I agree with Marco that we do the same thing every single name and most of it has to do with God.]]> 2021-10-21 16:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834047789 https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834073865 I agree with Jami that an assumtion was made with the word settlers. It was seen as a word that was purely reffered to as white people.

I like what Alexa said that Europeans felt that Native Americans weren't settled. Even though they had been their a lot longer than the Europeans and had more resources and experience.

I agree with Warren and Jami that we see settlers as people traveling and a lot of Europeans, who were white, traveled to America. ]]> 2021-10-21 16:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834073865 https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074625 -I agree with Alexa when she says they weren't settled and they had no title 
-I agree Jenna when she says we were always taught that the pilgrims were the first settlers. There were people before them that have never been talked about.
-I agree with Marley when she says the textbooks make us think the Pilgrims and Native Americans were friends and they had a meal together. After reading this chapter we know that wasn't true. 
-I enjoyed hearing what Marley and Jami both thought about what thanksgiving is like and how people aren't aware of what actually happened. It should be talked about more and when students are reading the textbooks in school they should be taught the correct things instead of learning about at school in later years. ]]> 2021-10-21 16:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074625 24fifthe https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074707 I agree with Jami because Loewen described the settlers as white, making an assumption of who they were. Marley brought up a good question to show why some in the group though of settler differently.
Most believe the textbooks made them see a false perspective. Most thought of settlers as Pilgrims, and some were shocked Pilgrims wasn't a term until after Thanksgiving. 
I agree with Jami because Loewen is trying to describe the false reality of the first Thanksgiving. Marley also brings up a good point that we should all be aware of what really happened. Jami also brings a good point that it is also about the harvest and how we should be thankful. I also agree with Warren because Thanksgiving should keep happening, but for different reasons. 
I agree with Jenna because most settlers were white and from Europe, they though they were already above the Native Americans.]]> 2021-10-21 16:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074707 https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074870 -I like how Jenna gave examples of all the people that came before the Europeans. I agree that it really discredits all of those groups that came prior.

-I agree with Alexa on how the term settlers implies that the Native Americans weren't really settled. 

-I like how Marley asked the group a question because it kept the conversation going. 

-I agree with the idea that Thanksgiving is being celebrated for the wrong reasons.]]> 2021-10-21 16:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834074870 https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834091380 I don't really know what to say.

-I agree with Edward that there are different perspectives that people don't celebrate things the same.
-I agree with Theresa that Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday. 
-I agree with Edward is the theme of Thanksgiving is what their culture deems it to be]]> 2021-10-21 16:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834097856 24patelo https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834101363 - I like how Jenna talks about all the people that came before Europeans, Like it wasn't fair that god was on their side and they were known as the first settlers.

- I agree with Alexa when she said that Europeans felt that the Native Americans weren't settled in America. As you can see the natives were their first but still the Europeans think they weren't settled and just had a hard time with getting resources and more.

- I agree with Marley when she said natives and Pilgrims were friends and they had a meal together which wasn't true, the author had lied to us in the chapter.]]> 2021-10-21 16:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834101363 24cuencaj https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834106105 -I agree mainly with Noelle's ideology towards Thanksgiving, as it has a good intent nowadays but still is somewhat insulting/condescending towards Natives as their mistreatment is somewhat ill informed in textbooks
-I like how Theresa brings up the fact that Thanksgiving isn't meant to be a religious celebration but people MAKE it one
-I agree with Olivia bringing in her own experiences with Thanksgiving and how it doesn't have to be a religious event or whatnot it's simply for bringing people together
-I completely agree with Noelle and Edward's thinking towards religious versus cultural, mainly how Noelle brings up the fact that Thanksgiving isn't mentioned in the bible or anything religious]]> 2021-10-21 16:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834106105 24herronm https://padlet.com/mdill24/9wr6m9ssplwwdm42/wish/1834106614 -I really liked the way Noel describes the first thanksgiving. Especially the idea that it was perfect. 
- Ms. Dill! They dont? I dint know that 
- I agree with Edwards there are so many perspectives when it comes to celebrating thanksgiving. 
- Unlike the majority of this group, I personally dont believe that thanks giving has anything to do with religion.
