The First Thanksgiving
Today we naturally stop to ponder “A Turkey Named Brotherhood,” the epic play by Garry Granger depicting the first Thanksgiving.
Destined for international accolades, this magnum opus was never performed from start to finish, though. It was interrupted by the dead-on political commentary of a thirteen-year-old Christina Ricci (a.k.a. Wednesday Addams), who played the Algonquian maiden Pocahontas.
“Wait, we cannot break bread with you …” she tells Sarah Miller, before launching into one of the greatest movie monologues of all time and burning the English village to the ground.
From our family to yours … have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

great video. Just in case anyone’s interested in the REAL story of Thanksgiving… Look up the one that occurred at Harrison’s Landing, Virginia in 1608. It was 14 years before the Pilgrims asses were bailed out by some stupid Indians. The Virginia Thanksgiving was very… well, Southern. Ham, not turkey (the relative of the vulture)—and much better food, all around.
George Washington celebrated the Southern (Christian) Thanksgiving. That socialist Lincoln (and FDR) bullsh*t Puritan version of Thanksgiving is a disgrace to American history.
