how do independence day and thanksgiving remind native americans of their marginal status?
because “Independence Day” is a celebration of independence for white americans and a commemoration of a day First Nations people lost theirs, for the most part. Thanksgiving is a commemoration of a time when Indians saved the lives of the Pilgrims by preventing their starvation. in thanks for that, they were called devils, hunted and murdered en masse, and starved. go figure.
