Getting tired of listening to Rush's angry Thanksgiving tirade, so here's a different thought on our America Thanksgiving heritage.

“our America Thanksgiving heritage”

pumpkin - Wiktionary:
From Middle French pompon, from Latin, from Ancient Greek “large melon”), from“ripe”, from“ripen”). Suffixed with the now obsolete -kin.

Our “Middle French Thanksgiving heritage”, maybe. Just so much more PC revisionism - pass.

I read or saw somewhere that there is only one native speaker of Euchee left in the world. He lives in Oklahoma.

It was once a large tribe.

Lost Native Language of Thanksgiving

Latin? Aramaic? Hebrew? Greek?

The language spoken at the first Thanksgiving was Spanish, with Latin being used for the worship service.

Nice to read something positive about Native American culture. From my vantage point, we have no reason to apologize for the wars that won this land; however, the generational depredations of welfare must sicken any honorable culture. Government “benevolence” forges stronger chains than chattel slavery could imagine.
