Thanksgiving myths
You may ask yourself did the Wampanoag tribe bring popcorn to the first thanksgiving. Actually you might have thought no the Wampanoag tribe did not bring popcorn the brought corn. The pilgrims brought turkey with stuffing cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pies Do you think that the Wampanoag were native head dresses and featured hats? I used to think they did but ever since I looked it up on the internet. The Wampanoag tribe did not dress up in features and animal skin. If they did wear features they would only wear about one feature on their heads. And for the pilgrims the women undergarment was a long white short sleeves shirt. And a line shirt with shifts, which somewhat resembled a modern-day women’s nightshirt

Although white settlers, citrus farmers, and people living outside the reserve prospered greatly from the Coolidge dam, many were blind to the fact of how it affected the Native Americans and their way of life. The Pima Indians of Arizona have the highest rates of diabetes in the world with more than half the population diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
