Thanksgiving 2013 - A Campaign of Reparation to Native Americans

In the next 12 months I would like to see the history of the United States taught truthfully about our relationship with Native Americans from our first interaction to the most recent. We can do that using You Tube, Facebook, TV specials, PR and other media as well as programs in our schools at all levels. I want all of my Grandchildren to know the unvarnished truth – what we did to the Indians as well as what they might have done to us – and why. I don’t want any exaggeration of atrocities on either side – nor any lies about what we actually did or didn’t do as immigrants and outsiders. And in 2013 – I want all of our leaders at the municipal, State and Federal level to declare Thanksgiving 2013 a holiday of commemoration and of asking forgiveness for the crimes we committed against the Indians and of forgiving any actions the Indians took to protect themselves, their lands and their culture so that we can start over again with Native Americans and ask their permission to continue to live in their land.
