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.

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