As an American, yea we kinda don’t know or care about the historical context anymore. We just get taught, and have reiterated, the whole “native Americans and colonists sat down together in peace to share a feast” aspect of it and forget the genocide and colonial violence that befell the Wampanoags.
I don’t really celebrate it anymore because celebrating it kinda feels like celebrating the massacre and enslavement of natives by a colonial European power.
