Connie, thank you for your kind words and for adding the link. After the research and writing I had to step away and settle my emotions. Sometimes these things are hard to share and even harder to rise above the pain and reach the inspiration.
I knew the story of the First Thanksgiving was mostly myth. But I learned so much for this article, it was worth the emotional workout.
On to the Festivities!!
We'll be heading out to the Tribal Grounds in the morning for a Native Thanksgiving. I'm bringing my husband, the "Pilgrim." His European family has only been in the US for a few generations, so he more than qualifies, but refuses to wear the big hat
We'll have a bountiful meal tomorrow and work on projects the rest of the weekend. A truly traditional Indian gathering! There will surely be some squash and venison along with the Turkey and pumpkin pie. Good cooks abound among the Cherokee of Georgia.
What other traditional dishes will everyone be enjoying this weekend?
