Thanksgiving among decendents of some of our countries first inhabitants
I wasn't sure if Alaskan Natives would celebrate Thanksgiving, I mean, the whole Pilgrims and Indians thing, but most (that I've encountered) do. I supposed the idea of giving thanks for good things in your life is pretty universal and the personal slight of the pilgrims taking over isn't as big of a deal, at least up here.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving was very laid back and full of good food and friends. I hope everyone out there had a good holiday as well.
