Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is D

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D. "We each have a responsibility to try to get rid of the hatred, bigotry, and greed that affected American Indians".

Step-by-step explanation:

"Thanksgiving: A Native American View" by Jacqueline Keeler, gives the point of view of a Native American who celebrates Thanksgiving, despite that the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers resulted in most Native American execution. According to the author we need to be that hero who destroys the heart of "bigotry, hatred, greed, self-righteousness", and by accepting the celebration she believes the healing of that heart could begin.
