   Here are the Thanksgiving facts. With all due respect to Pastor Weaver, I prefer this more historical account.

   The History of Thanksgiving

   Nonetheless, I’d like to wish everyone here a happy Thanksgiving.

   Wrong, Cineaste. With all due respect to bother you and Pastor Weaver, here’s the growingly recognized true history of the first “thanksgiving” meal:

   Just a little friendly debate.

   Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

   Cineaste,

   With all due respect, nothing in the article you posted contradicts anything that Steve said.

   “Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.”
