Maps of New England during King Philip's War At the end of July 1675 two important things were happening at once. King Philip, known as Metacom to his people, and the sunksqua Weetamoo, were in flight along with at least 250 of their people.  Reports coming into the colonial militias in the Fall River area suggested that Philip and Weetamoo intended to cross the Providence River and head for Nipmuc country. Farther north, at almost exactly the same time, Massachusetts Bay Colony had heard rumors that the Nipmucs had joined, or were soon to join, King Philip's Wampanoags. The Nipmucs occupied the strategically important territory between the settled towns of Massachusetts Bay near Boston and places like Springfield on the Connecticut River.  From the Bay's point of view, it was important to determine whether the Nipmucs were in the war or would remain neutral. Since Edward Hutchinson had succeeded in extracting a purported treaty from the Narragansetts, Massachusetts dispatched him into Nipmuc country with Thomas Wheeler and twenty horsemen to do the same. Sadly for all the people of New England, Hutchinson and Wheeler would set in motion a chain of events that would cause this awful war to spread everywhere in the region east of the Connecticut River. The New English would find themselves waging a brutal counterinsurgency, with all the tactical problems of irregular war in our own time.

After Massasoit's death in 1660 or 1661, his son Wamsutta became sachem of the Pokonoket community and the leading sachem of the Wampanoag confederation, and early on he followed Algonquian custom and changed his name.  He asked the men of Plymouth Colony, longstanding allies of his nation, to give him an English name, and they proposed Alexander.  His brother Metacom also took an English name, Philip. Alexander would soon die under circumstances that deeply concerned the Wampanoags, and his brother Metacom, now known to the English as King Philip, assumed the paramount sachemship. During the 1660s and 1670s, a series of crises would degrade the now fifty year alliance between Plymouth Colony and the Wampanoag confederation, with war narrowly averted in 1671. Then, in early 1675, the Harvard-educated Christian Indian John Sassamon would be found dead, murdered by someone. Plymouth prosecuted and executed three Wampanoag men on scanty evidence, a violation of Philip's sovereignty. Misunderstandings piled on top of outrage, and pressure built on both Philip and the Plymouth authorities to mobilize. The deputy governor of Rhode Island tried to broker peace, but events moved too fast. On June 23, 1673, the war began.

This episode looks at the background causes of the brutal war between the New English colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, and Connecticut and their indigenous allies against a tribal alliance including both the Wampanoags and the Narragansetts between 1675 and 1678. King Philip's War is the most widely used name of that bloody and arguably existential war. In surveys of American history, it is often the only event between the founding of Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay and the end of the 17th century that rates more than a sentence or two. This is for good reason, insofar as King Philip's War changed the trajectory of New England's history. It is thought to be the bloodiest war in American history as a proportion of the affected population. As many as 1000 colonists died, including perhaps 10 percent of the English men of military age. Three thousand Indians were killed, and as many as a thousand were sold into slavery abroad. The war altered the relationship between the European colonists and the Indians of the region to a far greater degree than the Pequot War or any of the other conflicts that had preceded it, shattered the military and cultural power of New England's most powerful indigenous nations, and so devastated the English that by some estimates per capita wealth in the region did not return to the level of 1675 until the eve of the American Revolution a century later.  The New England frontier, for better or worse, did not advance for forty years after King Philip's War. Suffice it to say, we should understand the issues that broke the long peace in the summer of 1675, almost exactly 350 years ago.

This week America will celebrate Thanksgiving. They will have a feast with turkey, mashed potatoes,  stuffing, and pumpkin pie. This is a holiday that remembers the original people that had set out from Plymouth. The harsh winter climate and the long journey caused the death of many of the Pilgrims and Puritans. The Wampanoags helped them to live through the harsh winter. When the harvest came in, they had a meal together to thank the Lord for His providence in keeping them alive and well. It is quite fitting to take time each day to thank God for His providence and protection. We should include this as a daily prayer. The Bible is filled with commands for us to give thanks to God. For us, who have accepted the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, we should be a people which are extremely thankful! We are forgiven and can stand before God as acceptable in His sight.  We teach our children from a young age to say ‘thank you' as it's very important to learn proper manners.  The verses give us the reasons why we should thank Him, such as “His love endures forever”, “He is good”, and “His mercy is everlasting”. Thanksgiving and praise always go together. We cannot properly  praise and worship God without also being thankful. David the King of Israel is described as a man after God's own heart. He wrote many of the Psalms and knew how to worship God. He knew the importance of thanksgiving. A Psalm for Thanksgiving. (this Psalm is an invitation for the entire earth to praise the Lord) 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 5  For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.

Since President Abraham Lincoln established observing the Thanksgiving Day holiday in 1863 to heal a fractured country amid the American Civil War (1861-1865). Consequentially, Americans for generations have believed in and centralized their national identity within several mythologies, including the propaganda surrounding the purported first thanksgiving between the Wampanoags and the pilgrims. Today on American Indian Airwaves, our guest from the Aquinnah Wampanoag nation joins us for the entire hour to discuss in-depth the origins of the Thanksgiving Day Holiday, the settler colonial perpetrators of violence and fabrication regarding this mythology that traces back to 1620s, the National Day of Mourning, the censorship of Frank “Wamsutta” Jame's speech in 1970 for the 350th Anniversary of the Mayflower's landing, who are the Wampanoag peoples along with their cultural and traditional practices, and more. Guest: o Linda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod, MA. In addition, our guest worked for over 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation, including 15 years as the WIP's Associate Director; and worked 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center.

Thanksgiving Day. Have you wondered about that first Thanksgiving Day? I found it very interesting that 200 years ago, in 1789 George Washington declared November 26th the official day of Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving falls on November 26th. After 1789, the States continued to celebrate on different days. It was Sarah Hale, an editor of a women's magazine in Boston, who waged a 30 year letter writing campaign to governors and the presidents, urging them to make Thanksgiving Day a national holiday and to pick one day for the celebration. President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a day of National Thanksgiving in 1863. Franklin Roosevelt pushed Thanksgiving into December in 1939 but two years later, it was moved back to the present, fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving really dates back to October 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Many of the pilgrims who had come over on the Mayflower the previous year had died, and the survivors had weathered a severe winter, but their fortunes had changed by the spring and summer, and they had good crop harvests, thanks to the help of a local tribe, the Wampanoags. To celebrate the better times, the Pilgrims declared a holiday so that all might, after a more special manner, rejoice together. The Pilgrims did not forget the hard times, and they had a custom of putting five kernels of corn on each empty plate before a dinner was served. These five kernels were chosen because prior to that first harvest, things were so bad that the daily ration was five kernels of corn per person per day. That custom of the pilgrims is a reminder for us to reflect upon our blessings, which are given to us by a gracious, generous God. Thanksgiving is a day of reflection on all that America has, our freedom, and our bounty. Every day is a day of thanksgiving and thanks living. I am reminded what the late A W Tozer once wrote about the habit of thanksgiving. He stated that "Thanksgiving will cure a host of injurious evils in our dispositions, self pity, resentment, murmuring and fault finding. All these will wither and die of themselves. For how can they grow inside a heart overflowing with gratitude and praise?" An unknown author wrote these prayerful thoughts, "Lord, we thank you for the privilege of living in a land of opportunity and beauty and plenty. We thank you for a religious heritage and freedom to worship as we may desire. We thank you for houses of worship that point fingers of stone towards heaven. We thank you for friends across the street, throughout the land, and around the world. We thank you for friendly nations on our borders and the ability to help the less fortunate in our own and other lands. We thank you for fertile fields swathed in robes of golden grain, for rolling plains blanketed with herds of lowing cattle, for majestic mountains ribbed with an ooze of steel. We thank you God for strength to work, for minds to plan and hearts to appreciate all good things from heaven."

Tonight, I'll be winding up my summer series on Triangles of Death by taking us on an exploration of the Lake Michigan Triangle. This Triangle of Death isn't as widely known on a global scale, like the Bermuda Triangle, but it's history is just as full of the bizarre and the unexplained as any place on earth. In the first episode, I took us on a dive of the Devil's Triangle, just off the coast of Japan. The Devil's Triangle is the home of many mysterious disappearances, sunken ships, strange lights in the sky, and is responsible for hundreds of deaths. In the previous episode, I took us on a trek through the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200 square mile area in Massachusetts. Though its landlocked, its home of a mysterious swamp that is said to be haunted by the local Native American tribe of the Wampanoags. This Triangle of Death is also the location of mysterious disappearances, strange lights in the sky, UFO sightings, hauntings and is also responsible for the deaths of many. Stretching from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan and to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the Lake Michigan Triangle has inspired numerous accounts of activity that are difficult to explain by rational thought.  From dancing lights in the skies above it to a cryptic, underwater “Stonehenge” under its waters, Lake Michigan is steeped in aquatic oddities—enough to rival even those of the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles in the first two episodes of this series. But what's the story behind the aptly-dubbed “Michigan Triangle,” the Great Lakes' claim to paranormal fame? Is it all smoke and mirrors or, like the lake itself, something with a bit more depth? Come with me as we explore some of the unique phenomena that make the Lake Michigan Triangle a true mystery. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Revisionist attempts to reinterpret the first Thanksgiving have muddled the history of Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrims. Some on the right call the historical events a “triumph of capitalism,” getting the chronology of events wrong. Voices on the left often accuse Thanksgiving of being a celebration of genocide against the Native Americans, citing the Mystic Massacre in the Pequot War, ignoring the context of that event, not least of which that it occurred 16 years after the celebration in Plymouth. Neither of these narratives accurately represents what actually occurred in Plymouth in the fall of 1621.  The Pilgrims were English Separatists who believed congregations should be independent, voluntary democratic institutions rather than part of the Church of England. In 1607 and 1608, they left England for the more tolerant Dutch Republic.  Life in the Netherlands, however, proved difficult. Some ran out of money and returned to England. Without further immigration from England, the congregation was in danger of collapsing. The Pilgrims were also unhappy with the libertinism of Dutch culture and worried that their children would grow up more Dutch than English.  After much discussion, they decided to try to establish a colony where they could worship and raise their families as they saw fit, and where they could spread the Gospel. In 1619, they received a patent to establish a colony in New England, north of the Virginia colony. In September of 1620, the Pilgrims, with other colonists, set sail on the Mayflower with 102 passengers, only 28 of whom were members of the congregation.   The Pilgrims debated whether it was safe to bring their wives. Most decided to do so, which accounts for the 13 adult women on board, three in their third trimester. There were also some younger women and children who joined the voyage. A baby who was born at sea was named Oceanus.  The Mayflower arrived in America in November after a difficult journey. A landing party sent to explore the land found artificial mounds that they excavated and discovered to be burial sites. In some, they found corn, which they took for planting before reburying the remains. They also found corn and beans in empty Native American homes, some of which they also took and paid for six months later when they met the owners.  Earlier English expeditions to the region had captured Native Americans and sold them as slaves or slaughtered them on their ships. Perhaps for this reason or because of the desecration of the graves, a Pilgrim landing party was attacked in December, though the colonists drove off the attackers.  Later that month, they found harbor at a place that was labeled “Plymouth” on their charts. They decided to winter there. The men went ashore to build houses, the first of which was used as a hospital. By the time spring came, only 47 of the colonists were still alive, and only 5 of the married women. Another would die in May of a broken heart after her husband died.  The Plymouth Colony only survived because of help from the Native Americans. The first contact came from Samoset, a minor chief from Maine who had learned English from fishermen who had set up a camp near his tribe. He then introduced them to Tisquantum, better known as Squanto. Squanto had been enslaved by English raiders but eventually was freed, became a Christian, and returned to his homeland. Unfortunately, his tribe, the Patuxets, were wiped out by an epidemic.  Squanto acted as both a translator and a mediator between the Pilgrims and Massasoit, the chief of the Wampanoag tribe. Massasoit established friendly relations with the Pilgrims and, with Squanto, taught them how to farm the “Three Sisters”—corn, beans, and squash. With their help, the remaining Pilgrims survived and had a successful harvest that fall.  The Pilgrims decided to hold a harvest festival, probably around Michaelmas (September 29) 1621, which was a traditional date for such celebrations in England. Massasoit and members of his tribe joined them. In all, there were about 50 English and 90 Wampanoags. The four surviving wives, together with children and servants, prepared and served food over the three-day celebration.  Although much European contact with Native Americans featured disease, genocide, prejudice, and abuse, that was not the case with the Pilgrims. Rather than falsely maligning that first Thanksgiving, we should look at it as a model of how things should have been and by God's grace one day will be.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine.

Many of us have heard the history of Thanksgiving in America in the classroom, but schools don't teach the true history of Thanksgiving from the perspective of Native American tribes like the Wampanoags or the Narragansetts. Until the history of Indigenous people of America is taught in schools, Native Americans today will always be misrepresented and underserved by the government and society. It's imperative that we academically recognize the historical relationships between colonists and Indigenous people and how that has shaped our modern society. Happy Thanksgiving and we also stand with our fellow Americans on this National Day of Mourning. #america #usa #indigenous #pilgrims The History of Thanksgiving (00:33), King Philip's War (05:24), Mythical Thanksgiving Feast (18:12), The Thanksgiving Lie (24:37), Pilgrims as Nationalists (27:22), Origin of Thanksgiving in School (30:55), Teach Native American History (34:55), Raised By USA Propaganda (38:38)

In this "bonus" episode, which originally aired in radio format on November 25th, 2021 (and which I've only just now converted to podcast format), I discuss Thanksgiving the holiday, as well as the practice of giving thanks. I explore the history of the holiday, which actually has very little to do with the meal shared by Pilgrims and Wampanoags in 1621. That was more of a celebration than a thanksgiving, as (at least for the Pilgrims) giving thanks typically entailed fasting and quiet contemplation. In reading about the true origins of this holiday, I realized how thoroughly Christian it is, and what a large role religion originally played in US government, and how much more willing to go without certain creature comforts the American people used to be.

As Thanksgiving draws closer, Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry welcome Kevin Doyle and Karen Rinaldo to the show. Kevin and Karen are the co-authors of “In the Wake of the Mayflower” which is the story about life after the Mayflower arrival from “The First Encounter” through the fifty years of peace that followed, and ending with King Philip's War. The book also highlights the mutually dependent relationship between the Pilgrims and the indigenous Wampanoags that is documented in the painting by Rinaldo of The First Thanksgiving, 1621.  In this episode the group furthers the conversation by talking about issues of trade, how the use of wampum rose and fell and the different concepts of value that came into play during this time period. The discussion also focuses on the differences of how native Indian people, the Dutch, and the English viewed land ownership. The segment concludes with the concept of gratitude and thanksgiving.     If you need help with financial planning issues don't hesitate to reach out to Asset Management Resources at (866) 771-8901.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Host of Truth Be Told, Tony Sweet Interviews, Professor David Silverman, specializes in Native American, Colonial American, and American racial history. 400 years after that famous meal, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war - tracing the Wampanoags' ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day.Please Like, Subscribe and Share today's show, Please visit www.ClubParanormal.com for more information about upcoming shows.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3589860/advertisement

Every kid in America grows up hearing about "The First Thanksgiving" featuring Squanto, the Mayflower, and the surprising nutritional value of dead-fish fertilizer. But this patriotic narrative offers only a tiny glimpse at the astonishing and agonizing history of contact between Europeans and indigenous peoples of New England, who called themselves the Ninnimissinuok. Our multi-part series on 17th century New England begins by examining the beliefs, culture, rapidly-changing politics of nations like the Wampanoag and Narragansett hundreds of years before religious disputes on the other side of the ocean would send English interlopers into their land. We'll also look at colorful figures like George Waymouth and Ferdinando Gorges who were involved in exploration and even failed colonization in New England long before the Pilgrims, as well as the unbelievable stories of indigenous people like Sassacomit and the Tisquantum who were stolen from their homes and brought to Europe, yet managed to make it back in one piece. Last, look into how and why an obscure but probably real celebration between some Pilgrims and Wampanoags became an essential part of our nationalist mythos.

We are joined by Karen Rinaldo and Kevin Doyle, authors of In the Wake of the Mayflower, to discuss the historic event of the first Thanksgiving. Karen shares and talks about her unique painting that accurately depicts the encounter of 90 Wampanoags and 53 Mayflower-surviving pilgrims, “The First Thanksgiving – 1621.” She shares how she got involved in creating this piece, the steps she took in constructing the image, and where her painting is today.  Karen and Kevin talk about their journey in what led them to self-publish their book. They speak on spiritual value in the native population, sacrifice, and having a philosophy to better understand people. In the Wake of the Mayflower (book): https://www.plimoth.com/products/in-the-wake-of-the-mayflower Chris and Jeff shift to talk about election results and sentiments relating to where we might be headed as a nation.

This episode looks at the kidnapping of Squanto - Tisquantum - in 1614, along with 26 other Wampanoags, in the context of the extraordinarily robust trade between northern Europeans and the tribes along the northeastern Atlantic Coast of North America. Tisquantum would become one of the most important "cosmopolitan" Indians of the era, and in a horrifying twist of fate would become one of the last of his people to survive.

The historical lens through which national holidays are viewed is often blurred and distorted. Thanksgiving is a case in point. The much-revered Pilgrims fresh off the Mayflower sat down and shared native foods with the friendly Wampanoags.  A heart-warming story. But this idea of the gift-giving Indian, helping to establish and enrich what would become the United States, is a myth. Native Americans would soon be overwhelmed and killed en masse by white settlers. Those that survived the murderous campaigns against them were relegated to inhospitable reservations. Indian land was stolen fair and square. Today we honor the memory of the slaughtered with Apache and Black Hawk helicopters, Jeep Cherokees, the Washington Redskins and calling bin Laden, Geronimo.  Native Americans are offended by the appropriation of their culture. It is the final stage of genocide.

This year marks the 400th anniversary of the “first Thanksgiving” between English pilgrims and Wampanoags in Massachusetts. But historians say the true story of what happened bears little resemblance to the myth that many Americans learn in grade school.Read more:In 1621, some pilgrims and some Wampanoags shared a feast. It wasn't the first meeting between the two groups and it wouldn't be the last, but for many reasons — including the American Civil War — the anniversary of that meal took on both an outsized importance and a whitewashed simplicity.This year, in honor of the 400th anniversary of that meal, Post reporter Dana Hedgpeth wanted to hear the Wampanoags' side of the story.

En el episodio de esta quincena cae en una festividad que por muchos años nos presentaron como un evento que sucedió en realidad. Pero no fue así, los nativos americanos sufrieron enormemente con la llegada de los europeos a Plymouth y le arrebataron o robaron a los Wampanoags.

The Wampanoag tribe has had their history erased even though they are integral to the celebrated US Thanksgiving and colonizer survival. Canada has its own Thanksgiving in October to emulate the US holiday. In this episode, we begin to learn the true history of the holiday and why the fourth Thursday in November is a National Day of Mourning for the Wampanoags.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys begin with some Thanksgiving thanks for the 400th episode of the show! Fisher then thanks FamilySearch.org for featuring him on the FamilySearch.org blog section. David then shares some stories he picked up on his recent visit to Utah, including a woman with a bizarre tale about Extreme Genes as she listened to it in Florida. In her shower. Then, in Family Histoire News, David talks about some relicts that were recently found in Utah tied to the Chinese workers who played a large role in the construction of the Trans-Continental Railroad. In the east, the Washington Post reports that the Wampanoags are not looking forward to the recognition of the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving. Hear why. Then, the BBC has come up with a great story about the general populace and their likely ties to royalty. Next, Fisher visits with Wendell Affield, the author of a series of books on his family history called the Chickenhouse Chronicles. They've been created with a large assist from 200 years worth of family history records found in his mother's chicken house in Minnesota! Catch his remarkable story. The conversation then turns to genealogical societies. Shannon Combs Bennett has been researching the history of these organizations and has learned about the timeline, and attitudes within and toward these groups over the years. She even has a count of how many have existed and still exist in the United States. David then returns for Ask Us Anything, including a question of foster children's inheritance rights, and FBI records. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family Show!

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Squanto was born somewhere around the year 1580. His home was in what was later to become America, more specifically, Massachusetts. Squanto lived off of the land, learning to hunt and fish and raise crops as he grew and prepared to be a brave man with a family of his own someday. But then something happened to change all of those wonderful plans. Squanto, along with several other young men from his tribe was kidnapped. They were taken away as prisoners on boats going all the way to Europe where they were sold as slaves. It was during his time of working as a slave in England that Squanto learned how to speak English. Later, Squanto had the opportunity to return to his home with Captain John Smith because he could be a very HELPFUL guide and interpreter for men exploring the New World. He HELPED the explorers but finally settled in a tribe called the Wampanoags. In 1620, the Pilgrims arrived at a place called Plymouth Rock near where Squanto was living. That first winter was horrible for the Pilgrims, and many of them died. Squanto actually went to stay with the Pilgrims and HELPED them to recover from that terrible winter. He taught them the best places to catch fish, how to build warmer houses, and he taught them how to plant and cook corn. He also HELPED them know how to get along with the Wampanoags. That was nearly four hundred years ago, but because of the great HELP he gave the Pilgrims, Squanto is still remembered as a very special HERO. That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!Dear Parents, After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at http://www.thecharacternetwork.org/Testimonials (www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials) This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment. These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it's just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.” They also promote the concept of POSITIVE... Support this podcast

Before New England was New England, it was the Dawnland. A region that remains the homeland of numerous Native American peoples, including the Wampanoag. Over the next two episodes, we’ll explore the World of the Wampanoag before and after 1620, a year that saw approximately 100 English colonists enter the Wampanoags’ world. Those English colonists have been called the “Pilgrims” and this year, 2020, marks the 400th anniversary of their arrival in New England. T he arrival of these English settlers brought change to the Wampanoags’ world. But many aspects of Wampanoag life and culture persisted, as did the Wampanoag who lived, and still live, in Massachusetts and beyond. In this episode, we’ll investigate the cultures, society, and economy of the Wampanoags’ 16th- and 17th-century world. This focus will help us develop a better understanding for the peoples, places, and circumstances of the World of the Wampanoag.

Thanksgiving has been a national holiday for a few hundred years. America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, uses history, jokes and interesting trivia to tell the timeless story of this tradition and its uncertain past. For hundreds of years one side of the truth was told whilst the other side who participated, had no voice. Now in the most diversified country in the world, the people are finally waking up to the stark reality behind the true history of Thanksgiving. It is not a pleasant past, but one from which we can all learn. In the end, it should be a day of giving thanks for family, friends and our own health. Getting together with loved ones and indulging in life and everything it has given to us. We can put it's history in the past, but we can never forget the foundation from which it's ugly start took birth.

In this episode of Christian Mythbusters, Father Jared debunks the myth of the First Thanksgiving and American Christian complicity in the genocide of native people. You can hear Christian Mythbusters in the Grand Haven area on 92.1, WGHN, on Wednesdays at 10:30am and Sundays at 8:50am. The transcript of the episode is below, or you can listen to the audio at the bottom of the post. This is Father Jared Cramer from St. John's Episcopal Church in Grand Haven, Michigan, here with today's edition of Christian Mythbusters, a regular segment I offer to counter some common misconceptions about the Christian faith. Tomorrow many families in our community will be finding ways to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. It will certainly be a Thanksgiving unlike many of us have had before. At least I hope it will, given that there is still a global pandemic killing thousands of people. Please, please make good decisions. Around this time, I'm always struck by posts on Facebook and social media of happy Native Americans giving large plates of food to kindly Puritan colonists, a kind of general nostalgia for a world now gone. And so, this week I would like to bust the myth of that original Thanksgiving. If you actually do want to know more about this story, I’d commend to you an excellent book by David Silverman, called This Land Is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving. In it, Silverman lays out much that we have learned about that original Thanksgiving, much that had been covered up by myth and historical inaccuracy. He’s also clear about how the continued retelling of the Thanksgiving myth wounds not only the still existing Wampanoag Indians (and yes there are still some), but all Native people who see their history erased by quaint and invented stories. So, let’s start by clearing up a few things. First off, for at least 12,000 years, if not longer, the Native American people lived in this country. By the time the Mayflower arrived, this was not first contact. There had already been a century of contact between Native American people and the Europeans. And it wasn't a kind and gentle engagement of brave explorers and Native People. Instead, it was more often bloody slave raiding by the Europeans. When the pilgrims arrived, some of the Wampanoag already spoke English and had even been to Europe and back. The Wampanoag reached out to the English at Plymouth in the hope of an alliance to help them in their ongoing battles with the Narragansett. They had already been decimated by a pandemic and this was one of their last hopes. Unfortunately, the Europeans responded to this kind overture by the Wampanoag by over the next fifty years by stealing Wampanoag land, spreading European disease, and exploiting their natural resources. As tensions increased, the Europeans insisted that the Wampanoag surrender all their guns. They hung three members of the Wampanoag tribe on accusations of murder, raids began, and before long the differences between the Narragansett and Wampanoag were erased as both found themselves fighting for their lives in what became known as King Philip's war, a war so named because the Wampanoag chief, Metacom, adopted Philip as an English name when relationships were friendlier, long, long ago. By the end of King Philip's war, 1,000 colonists had died, but 3,000 Indians were killed. Many that survived, including Metacom's son, were enslaved and sent to Bermuda. Several of the smaller tribes were entirely destroyed, including almost all of the Narragansetts and the Wampanoags. And Rhode Island itself was devasted, its principal city of Providence destroyed… all because European Chr...

It’s a cozy time of year. Sweaters, tryptophan, the memory of 90 poisoned Wampanoags at the real 1st “Thanksgiving” feast . . . .yeah, maybe not so cozy after all. But cheer up, there’s a romance for that. STUFFED, by Jessica Gadziala is the perfect, light, quick, yet still thoughtful story to cozy up with during the cold November rains. In other news, it’s Native American heritage month. here’s a link from the National Museum of the American Indian with resources for teaching children (k-12) about various indigenous cultures. If you, like me, like to include some kind of nod to native cuisines on your Thanksgiving tables, visit https://www.indigikitchen.com/recipes/ for pre-contact recipes.

"One of the things I really noticed is that I loved working in communities. Being in the GLBTQ community, how much healing we got by being together. Like how instrumental being able to work in an organization that centered liberation and centered understanding power and centered young people and the multitude of diversity of their experiences. The ways we did that type of work back then have been so informative to my journey in life.""Often we are using different things to manage stress levels.""Depending on your varying degrees of privilege, you're interacting with a cultural schema that is basically, constantly trying to annihilate you, through all of its systems.""That's part of what I learned in trauma work - how important it is to not pathologize any substance abuse or disassociation as some sort of mental health disorder. Rather it's a strategic, incredible sign of resilience and coping with what is dealing with a tremendous amount of stress and threat.""We are in such a phenomenal moment of uncertainty.""The people who have endured marginalization over many years - queers, the POCs, the poor people, the people with larger bodies, the disabled population, there is a pretty epic, almost like, endurance.""It's just a very illuminating moment for what people have a lot of capacity and what people haven't built much capacity at all. People who have built a lot of capacity have only built that because they've had to deal, it has not been a choice. And there's a whole bunch of people have had a lot more choice around that because of their privilege. I think that's really interesting to watch people get disrupted.""We don't usually get the whole story about what's truly happening.""There is a lot of fear in the social nervous system right now.""How do we do micro-moments of just taking a breath, or just getting out for a two minute walk or like connecting for a five minute conversation just to help kind of down regulate our stress a little bit?""Never before in our lifetimes have we had a moment like this, that has been so disruptive, so systemically, globally disruptive.""There's an element of this which we can really make this an opportunity to get a lot clearer on what's important to us - individually.""Reacting is different than listening. And listening asks us to slow down. It asks us to drop in and feel ourselves a little bit. Which I  know is not really, maybe realistic for a whole bunch of people right now.""When trauma happens, it actually usually triggers many of our old traumas.""We're going to be living with this sense of 'is this over?' for a very long time.""There is always a good reason our body won't let us do something.""Feeling ourselves is revolutionary. When we feel ourselves and we allow ourselves to connect with a little bit of the intuition of the body, there is so much there for us."Cat de La Paz episode Portland Outright Brooklyn GojuCenter for Anti-Violence Educationhttp://embodiedliberation.comInstagramFacebookSage Hayes Bio:Sage Hayes (she/he/they) is a somatic practitioner exploring frontiers of embodied liberation.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we examine a little known (but pretty freaky!) cryptid known as the Puckwudgie. Think of it as a leprechaun, but instead of hoarding gold, it likes to murder people, set things on fire, and shoot poisonous darts at fools. This supposed creature is native to North America, and it has a deep folklore in various Native American groups such as the Wampanoags, Ojibwe, and Algonquian tribes. However, the sightings and encounters continue to this day in New England. So what is a Puckwudgie? It is a short creature (maybe three feet tall) with large eyes, an oversized nose, and a bloated or rounded belly. It is said to be able to vanish in plain sight, light fires at will, and transform into some type of porcupine/humanoid half breed. If you encounter one, it is likely to follow you around and mess with you. Depending on your reaction, and the demeanor of the individual Puckwudgie, this could come in the form of tying your hair in knots. It could also lead to burning your house down, tormenting you for years at night, or even luring you off a cliff and making it look like suicide. The Native American groups thought that these little critters were once friendly with humans, but in an encounter with a mythic giant who scattered them all over the countryside, they turned on everyone and become less mischievous and more malicious. Modern tales of them often involve people walking in wooded areas in the Bridgewater Triangle, a zone of strange paranormal occurrences. They have a lot of activity in Freetown, Massachusetts, home to Lizzie Borden. They even made their way into Harry Potter’s lore as mischievous little creatures as well. On this one, we cover the ancient mythology as well as the modern day encounters and come to a decision on what we think of this freaky little deaky.   Visit Our Sources: https://thoughtcatalog.com/january-nelson/2018/08/pukwudgie/ https://the-line-up.com/pukwudgie https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/4tefuk/pukwudgie/ http://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/2019/01/two-encounters-with-pukwudgies-in.html http://www.native-languages.org/pukwudgie.htm https://www.astonishinglegends.com/astonishing-legends/2018/10/22/pukwudgies https://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/freak-encounters/full-episodes/pukwudgie http://www.ancientpages.com/2018/04/09/pukwudgie-the-trickster-grey-faced-humanoid-creature-in-native-american-beliefs/ http://www.paranormal-encounters.com/wp/what-exactly-is-a-puckwudgie/ http://www.historynaked.com/pukwudgie/ https://cambridge.wickedlocal.com/zz/news/20191017/4-local-cryptids-you-may-run-into-around-new-england https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukwudgie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_Triangle http://demonhunterscompendium.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-pukwudgie.html    

Today our guest is the Rt. Rev. Dr. Carol Gallagher, Regional Canon for the Central Region of the Diocese of Massachusetts. Previously, Bishop Gallagher served as the assistant bishop of the Diocese of Montana, where she developed a close relationship with Indigenous leaders and communities, trained  clergy and lay leaders on issues of race, gender, and inclusion, and led the Task Force on Native Issues. Before Montana, Bishop Gallagher served as the assistant bishop in the Diocese of North Dakota, Diocese of Newark, and Diocese of Southern Virginia. Developing strong relationships with Native tribes and communities, as well as educating Episcopal communities on the significance of the intersection of race, culture, gender, and class, has been a focus of her ministry for a long time.    Bishop Gallagher is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. She has served on numerous committees, task forces, and boards, including the Episcopal Church Council on Indian Ministries, the Anglican Indigenous Network, Anglican Peace with Justice Concerns, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Episcopal Divinity School Board of Trustees and the United Way of America National Board, to name a few.      Alli sits with Bishop Gallagher while she was visiting New Haven, CT as a keynote speaker at Yale Divinity School for “Fully Native Fully Christian: Converging Rivers and Indigenous Canons” conference. Bishop Gallagher’s father was a Presbyterian minister, and her mother was a Cherokee woman. Bishop Gallagher tells Alli about her call to ministry from a young age and the significance of her consecration as the first female native bishop.    Bishop Gallagher discusses the relationship of The Episcopal Church and Indigenous communities, stating that the relationship ebbs and flows depending on who is in leadership within the church. In her ministry, she has traveled around the country to train lay leaders within Indigenous communities as a way to empower all individuals in the church. Bishop Gallagher shares a story that has really stuck with her in her work with native people. When she was traveling in New Zealand she learned the importance of “making things your own” from the Maori people.    She shares ways to get involved and empower local Indigenous communities, from visiting the Mashantucket Pequot Museum to learning about the local communities’ history, and truly listening to stories of native peoples.     Within her current work in Massachusetts, Bishop Gallagher shares that she works closely with parishes and clergy in transition. One thing that is exciting in the next year, 2020, will be the 400 anniversary of the landing on Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. Bishop Gallagher plans to work with the community in Plymouth, the Wampanoags, and Indigenous folks in Virginia to better understand the complexities of the story and how the church participated - both helpful and destructive and everything in-between.    This work has been both a spiritual blessing and challenge for Bishop Gallagher. She refers to it as a balancing act, but God has always provided. Bishop Gallagher shares that the conference she is at, which brought her to New Haven at Yale Divinity School, is helping to form a community on the East Coast for Native folks within the church.    To close, she asks for prayer for the church to be open and to embrace the multiplicity of expression as a gift.
