Hey friends, thanks for tuning into another episode of Tory Dealing With where each episode

is short, sweet, and the perfect thing to enjoy in the morning, just like your coffee.

This week on this very special Thanksgiving holiday, we're going to talk about two things.

Number one, what really went down on Thanksgiving all those years ago, and number two, gratitude.

Growing up in a public school, I like many people was taught that Thanksgiving is a beautiful

holiday where the Native Americans and the pilgrims shared a delicious meal around

We then proceeded to make crafts that fit this narrative like cutting out our own Native

American feather headbands from construction paper while other kids cut out buckles for

their shoes to look like pilgrims.

When we learn things like that in school, we don't question it, but as we grow older,

we have the ability to second guess what we are taught, and we quickly find out that

the pictures that were painted for us weren't always so honest.

I was sitting in a car with my sister the other day, she's a teacher, and she basically

read-pilled me about what Thanksgiving was really all about.

She told me that it was pretty much a massacre.

Wampanoag is a misconstrued myth.

Here is the description that I pulled directly from the Cape Cod Times website.

Tradition dictates that the pilgrims' story starts in September of 1620.

The departure of the Mayflower was packed with colonists and sailors, and it left England

to set sail for the new world.
