Thanksgiving is a great holiday, but.....lets think about the history of the Holiday. Essentially, Native Americans welcomed Pilgrims and then we brutally exterminated them and took their land. We now celebrate the holiday, as we are the winners in this whole thing, but not sure if it was fair to the Native Americans.
Since the holiday was essentially based on eventual genocide, maybe celebrating it isn't the best idea.

It's a great tradition for giving thanks and helping others. Alternative would be to mind your own business and be hostile towards your neighbors, not a great idea. The Indian tribe helped the pilgrims to settle in this country and Pilgrims and mos Americans are thankful for that.
While what happened later to Native Americans is a tragedy, it shouldn't ne attributed to that particular event. What they did to help Pilgrims was a right humane thing to do and is a good reason to express thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
