"Pilgrim Myles Standish eventually got his bloody prize. He went to the Indians, pretended to be a trader, then beheaded an Indian man named Wituwamat. He brought the head to Plymouth, where it was displayed on a wooden spike for many years, according to Gary B. Nash, "as a symbol of white power." Standish had the Indian man's young brother hanged from the rafters for good measure. From that time on, the whites were known to the Indians of Massachusetts by the name "Wotowquenange," which in their tongue meant cutthroats and stabbers." - "The Real Thanksgiving" by Daniel N. Paul

Date: 2015-11-27 07:05 am (UTC)I get a week off from studying and I get enough time and relaxation to make a real dinner for my kids and spend some real time with them. I'm sorry that the only time this kind of thing gets to happen is linked to a mythological day that pretends we weren't massacring Natives but I'll take what I can get.
