Soon another Thanksgiving Day will be coming forth in our nation. Throughout history the Native American Indians were wronged and some are still yet. Let us not forget the American Indians contributed to the first Thanksgiving; we must hail and give recognition for this important event.
Many people have forgotten what the Native American Indians did for the first white settlers by keeping them from starving. Let us remember at Thanksgiving the American Indians and not forget the government of the Indian nations sparked an international awareness of democracy, since the U.S. government is patterned after the Iroquois.
The American Indian legacy not only has enriched us, it has also enriched the world. We can remember this and any day can be Thanksgiving if we are thankful “in everything.” Let us abide with these wonderful words of praise from Phil. 4:6: “anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.”
