Maybe your kid. Mine love everything about books, especially as a way to explore the world around them or the past.

We are American Indian. We read all sorts of Thanksgiving books. Indians aren't a monolith. My kids are still young, but we have a lot of simpler conversations about Indians (teepees vs long houses, views on land and cultural differences). We talk a lot about how Americans took advantage of the Indians. [/quote]

You mean the NAs that bought sold and kept African slaves?  The NAs that sold land to traders and settlers and then reneged and massacred them, or the Iroquois that pushed the Sioux out that pushed the Cheyenne out that pushed out the Kiowa ?

People are people.   If you look at the truth you’ll see there are no saints just people and cultures in conflict for survival.   The NAs weren’t taken advantage of, they were in conflict and another culture prevailed.  Just as the Mayans and Aztecs “took advantage” of their neighbors before any European set foot in America.
