Deconstructing the Myths of "The First Thanksgiving"
In celebration of Native Heritage Month and Thanksgiving, we are premiering a new section on our website. Welcome to MYTHBUSTERS! Judy Dow (Abenaki) and Beverly Slapin wrote a very informative article entitled Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving”
in the Fall 2004 issue of MultiCultural Review magazine. The article
sets the record straight on many of the dominant culture’s commonly
held beliefs about the origins of Thanksgiving. Special thanks to MultiCultural Review for allowing NAPT to post this article.
