From the book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie:

I always think it’s funny when Indians celebrate Thanksgiving. I mean, sure, the Indians and Pilgrims were best friends during that first Thanksgiving, but a few years later, the Pilgrims were shooting Indians.

So I’m never quite sure why we eat Turkey like everybody else.

“Hey, Dad,” I said. “What do Indians have to be so thankful for?”

“We should give thanks that they didn’t kill all of us.”
