Just one of several reasons why I am content, living alone, up on the hill, with my critters.
that said, I have a lot of reasons to be thankful for Thanksgiving that have nothing to do with the Europeans stealing the land from the Native Americans. Because according to my English grandmother, whose people settled in this country in 1610, I am said to have Tuscarora native American blood in my gene pool. They were part of the Iroquois confederacy.
thankfully, my paternal Eastern European family came through Ellis Island at the turn of the century and had nothing to do with stealing anybody’s land. They actually struggled more than once to keep their tiny farm. They managed to hang onto it and my adult nephew is now fourth generation on that farm —- I am very thankful for that as well
