Pilgrims and the Indians

by Teresa M Walker — Read all 50 poems by Teresa M Walker

The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in America by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in 1621. It lasted 3 days and was attended by 53 Pilgrims and 90 American Indians.

Poem Artwork

 The Pilgrims took a chance,

And sailed across the sea,

To find a better place to live,

A better place to be.

The Indians were there to greet them,

A new world the Pilgrims found,

Both together taught each other,

Brand new things brought by the ground.

They joined hands with their families,

With Thanksgiving in their hearts,

Respecting both their cultures,

A new beginning from the start.

Together in a America,

A land we call the free,

The Pilgrims and the Indians,

Celebrate our history.

(c) By Teresa Bellamy Walker

If only it were true. 95% of indians wiped out, through greed, theft and jealousy. Us europeans took advantage of their goodwill, Washington, Adams... decreed they were to be wiped out. The holocaust never managed to reach this level of annihilation of an indigenous race. The Indians call it Unthanksgiving day. The worse event in human history.

The few that survived only did so by being slaves and abused in the most vile way.

You have certainly described the sanitized account although the designated holiday didn't come about until much later.

It still makes me sad to think about how the friendly, naïve Native Americans were taken in by the invading Europeans, robbed of their land and their dignity as "human beings," and eventually slaughtered by the millions for trying to fight back.
