From the Paper:
"When learning about Native American history in elementary and high school, the details surrounding the early settlers' interaction with the native inhabitants of this land were based upon generalities. Growing up in a primarily Dutch community, our primary history lesson about Native Americans was based on the story of the first Thanksgiving. We were taught about how the Pilgrims suffered greatly during their first year in the New World, with many dying of disease and lack of food. The Native Americans of the region helped the Puritans to grow food that allowed them to subsist in this harsh new land, culminating in a great feast of thanksgiving that celebrated God's provision and the new fellowship between the Pilgrim's and their new brothers. However, this warm and moving story was shattered after reading Wyle's (2004) book."Sample of Sources Used:
