Thanksgiving is a day to honor truth and history. Thanksgiving to all Native people is a day commemorating the massacre of 700 Mashantucket Pequot Indians in 1639 – unarmed men, women and children – during their green corn ceremony. And the history of Alcatraz goes way back before it was turned into a federal prison. The first prisoners were Hopi parents who refused to have their children be taken away by the government into boarding schools, and also Natives during the Modoc wars.
