Book Club: This Land is Their Land and the myth of Thanksgiving

Join Evana Rose Tamayo  in exploring the founding myth of American history: Thanksgiving. From primary school we’re taught that Thanksgiving was a moment of harmony between Indigenous people and colonists. From David Silverman’s acclaimed This Land is Their Land we’ll discover something very different—the Thanksgiving story told from the Wampanoag point of view. “A gripping, Native-centered narrative of the English invasion of New England,” wrote a reviewer. Just right for the pre-Thanksgiving season!
