This is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. And it's also pretty politically incorrect, just a disclaimer.
Kids Reenact: The First Thanksgiving
I think this speaks to a lot of frustration about how Thanksgiving is taught as a happy little story about Pilgrims coexisting with the Native Americans, and they all eat turkey and live happily ever after. As historians, we know this story is not exactly the truth. And I think a lot of Americans are beginning to stop buying it, too. Books like 1491 and videos like this spark interest.
Even though this video is meant to be funny, it does show a lot of what Americans want to ignore.
