Topic	Is Thanksgiving a culturally insensitive holiday?
Esrac 11/07/21 6:42:44 PM #8:	StarDestroyer posted... In Canada I find thanksgiving is a family holiday with an autumn theme rather than any connection to pilgrims and Indigenous "helping" one another. That is generally the way it is celebrated in the US. Some older TV specials or grade school skits might mention the pilgrims, but for the most part most just treats it as an excuse to get together with family you haven't seen in a while and have a big meal. <cite>Esrac posted [p:959787916] in Is Thanksg...
