In spite of the thanksgiving is a day when people enjoy and celebrate just the good remains that it brings up, it must be recalled for their sentimental and dark part. Above all, people should be conscious that those days was not just happiness, they were also very dramatic for people that either was killed or seriously harmed. One way of remembering these persons could be to build a statue that represents the Wampanoag’s people or to design a place where the people could do homage in honor of the Indians, therefore each thanksgiving people would have a place where they could go to pray for them or to celebrate a ceremony.
Moreover, other alternative that could be works is through the media. The Thanksgiving Day the media could transmits documentaries about what happened those days through to dramatize the king Phillip’s war. Indeed, the media not only would be focus in the football game but also in this documentary. Thus, the people would keep in mind the unhappiness that the Indians lived those days.
Regading to the example of my country (colombia) where the goverment has hidden the truth about its action, in this moment i cannot find any situation to make reference. Anyway, i will try to look for this information and as soon as i can find it, i will publish it.

Hi Meli,
ReplyDeleteI like your idae about a statue or some other such gesture that helps to ensure that the past won't be forgotten. Perhaps such a monument will help make Thanksgiving more peaceful for everyone.
yeah, I like your idea of using media, as the public information exchange platform, i think it's helpful.
ReplyDeleteI think your idea is good, you can use some information and examples to explain that thanksgiving is more important than long time before.
