Reflect back on the values of Thanksgiving you described at the start of the activity. Did the Pilgrims uphold these values in their treatment toward the Wampanoag? Why?

Answer: No. Because of the colonization impact back then

Explanation:

Pligrims were the travelers who had their journey and action because of the holy place that they were tend to. It is a holy physical journey on foot with religious beliefs and that is why the Thanksgiving story has peace and culture as a key and idea of it.

When we are talking about this holiday, cross-cultural exchange of Pligrims and Indians is important.

On the other side, the planters and Wampanoag shared in a celebration of a harvesting so within many years they wouldn't be free. That is why for some people who are Native Americans, this holiday is not for celebrating. It is a holiday that is considering memories of colonization and an impact that colonization had for Indigenous people.
