The Nation is honoring this year’s Thanksgiving by featuring a debate over whether America should keep celebrating the national holiday or not. One side is claiming it is “steeped in colonialism, violence, and misrepresentation” and needs to be “decolonized,” while the other goes further, describing Thanksgiving as a “lie” that should be completely abolished and replaced with a “Truthsgiving,” where Americans can “give thanks by… giving land back.”
The essay, titled “Should America Keep Celebrating Thanksgiving?” and published in the left-wing magazine’s latest issue, details the positions of Lakota Chef Sean Sherman,

I am so tired of these lies. The Indians pushed the original native people off this land. The came to this country thru the Bering Straits and took over! Indians are NOT native to this land. Also. When Bradford and the rest of the Puritans came to the shores of America, the Indians greeted them. Showed the Puritans how to hunt and grow crops. Stop the dang lies Oh. And Thanksgiving was a day set aside to thank GOD ! That’s what bothers the left. They can take a hike. This is One Nation Under God. Whether they like it or not!

Perhaps these ignorant useful idiots should go find someplace to live which has not, at some point in time, been taken from someone else. May I suggest Antarctica?

If I'm going to give land back it will be to the original owners, The Neanderthals. If they show up they can have my property. No late comers like the Injuns. I will caution them that now they have reclaimed their property that they will have to do the yard work, answer the door when the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses show up, pay the property taxes, utilities, ad infinitum. I will move to their caves and eat roast Wooly Mammoth.

There is always some fool who hates everything good that comes along.
Thanksgiving is a nice holiday, a good time to have family around and enjoy their tim together,and Tank God for all of the good things in life.
These people need to get a life because they don't have one.

The left has no intention of giving anything back. This is just more agitating to raise money, justify more self loathing and virtue signaling in an effort to drum up enthusiasm to vote in 12 months. The left will “give it back” right after they solve poverty, homelessness, end racism. free college and medical care. And they’ve been promising most of that since Roosevelt.

Sure, right after Biden, Sanders, and BLM give their mansions back.
Many historians believe that the Indians were actually Asians who crossed into North America over a land bridge.
If so, they are no more native than I am.

And where did "they" come from and who did "they" take the land from. Oh, but it was ok for the indian tribes to take over land they stole by killing other indian tribes. So, that's ok. But if someone who is not an indian takes the land that's not ok. Gee, sounds just like the crime problem we are having today. It's ok for one type of people to kill each other but it's not ok if someone different from them kills one of them. Connect the dots. The same hysterical lunatics preaching their B.S. Get it.

Between 100,000 tp 50,000 years again, anatomically and behaviorally modern humans came out of the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia and populated the entire globe. They displaced Neanderthals and branch og genus homo that exist. Homo Sapients-Man the Wise we call ourselves. We are ALL settlers.

Actually, there are quite a few universities who openly admit (and keep openly apologizing) for stealing indigenous land. I think they should be the first to give it back. Then we can all give thanks together to the Great Casino Father in the Sky.

Debating in an echo chamber. Far out of earshot, thankfully.

Since the 90s it's been the same old tired worn-out song with the decolonization crowd of leftist half-wits during Thanksgiving. The evil White Christians came The Americas and took the land from the gentle woodland Indian peoples. I suggested years ago that those clowns look up who were the first people that inhabited what is now the great USA and what happened to them. Also get a clue what Thanksgiving is all about.

Liberals are free to give away all if their belongings and property to whomever they wish. They are, however, not entitled to volunteer to give everyone else's and everything away to satisfy some liberal guilt they feel and make themselves feel better. Throughout history, groups have gained and lost lands. This is no different. Get over it.

If these folks feel that so badly about the land the settlers acquired they certainly can deed over any property they have to the local Native American Tribe and move back to wherever their ancestors came from. The old adage "Do as I do not as I say"'

Every place on earth has changed hands at least once or twice in its history, and I doubt any person on the planet lives in the place from which his or her ancestors FIRST came. But if it will get you to shut up already about it, on the count of three, everybody go to their ancestors' first place of origin. People of mixed heritage, try to cut yourself apart into pieces sized proportionally to the relative portion of each culture. One... two... three... okay, GO.
C'mon, folks, it's simple; what are you waiting for?!? Undo history's territorial conquests already! No pushing or shoving as everybody tries to get back into The Garden... (severe eye roll)

Globalists need to destroy the existing culture in order to more easily implement their changes, this is an actual stated goal by the WEF for the open boarders of people flooding Europe and the U.S.

Hey, the Lakota tribe was in the middle of North America, no where near the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving nor a few hundred years hence. Just another useful idiot spreading globalist wares.

BTW, "American Indians" began settling around this country when they left Siberia and walked over the frozen Bering Straits. Are they going to return to Russia? Furthermore, countries have always been 'invaded' and remained so to this very day. Just have a look when the European tribes crawled around all over Europe.

If every nation on Earth gave their land back to the previous owner, the map would look like a monopoly game that had been dumped over and restarted. Guess what, the strongest and smartest people would soon own Park Place, Boardwalk and all of the Railroads.

Seems most of the Indians had no clue what land was what...with all the raiding parties on other tribes it appears no one owned anything!....some of them sold their land for trinkets/beads...Manhattan comes to mind!

They should set an example by giving their plantations back first and see if people will follow their lead!
