Thanksgiving – Discourse Concerning Western Planting

The English divide and conquer plan for America was written in 1578, twenty nine years before the founding of Jamestown in 1607. This was also long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620 and survived the winter with the help of Chief Massasoit and the Wampanoag Indians. Chief Massasoit had a son named, Metacom whose death best illustrates the guile behind the first Thanksgiving and the one celebrated 55 years later on Thursday, August 17, 1676. This is the one where Metacom’s head was brought to the Plymouth Colony entrance and displayed on a pole for over twenty years.

Mato White Plume said, "A lasting impression this film left was the shared themes of systemic confinement, and the resistance against it. Seeing these two histories laid side by side like that, it clicks. It makes the regimes of control and displacement undeniable. It was for sure heavy, but the kind of heavy that fuels the flame for liberation."

"The most powerful was witnessing the raw acts of resistance," said

MNN. THE SERPENTS ARE TRYING TO RETURN. WE ARE STOPPING THEM.  Nov. 24, 2025. McGill University Law School.

We are here on the land of the Kaniekehaka Mohawks at the foot of Mount Royal in tiotiakeh Montreal. The bear clan village of tekanontak stood right here and where we are told the serpents did away with our people and hid their outrageous actions from the world. Today we are looking for our babies. We, the “Keepers of the Eastern Door”, stood on this original Mohawk village watching for invasive species and slithering serpents.
