They are a part of Canadian histry too because there was no Canada or US in those days. We are as guilty as anyone else.<br /><br /><br />Thanks, Martha. 1,000 years in the future, eh? I wonder where humankind will be then? Hard to believe even 1 million or 10 million years from now will arrive eventually. <br /><br />Jeesh, I just need to get through the day sometimes!

It once again ...Hahaha...I love this post, Francie! It once again reminds me how we like to glorify history and change the facts a little. I always say that I wouldn't mind visiting the past, but that I would never want to go back and live there. We are always moving forward (hopefully) with each generation, so if I had a choice, I'd skip forward at least 1,000 years, probably much more, to see if we've evolved into better humand beings that are kinder to one another. In the meantime, we are where we are.

I didn't know this:<br /><br />"The first Thanksgiving celebration by Euro-peoples in North America was not in New England but in Newfoundland by Martin Frobisher, 42 years before the Pilgrims. <br /><br />Frobisher's Thanksgiving was not for harvest but homecoming. He had safely returned from a search for the Northwest Passage, avoiding the later fate of Henry Hudson and Sir John Franklin."<br />The Dancing Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661825713234722591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711549903890442918.post-83027728875317410862012-10-06T21:46:13.306-04:002012-10-06T21:46:13.306-04:00The first Thanksgiving celebration by Euro-peoples...The first Thanksgiving celebration by Euro-peoples in North America was not in New England but in Newfoundland, 42 years before the Pilgrims.<br /><br />Can't call it Canadian, though, as Newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949.<br /><br />Details at http://tinyurl.com/6z9z9b<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Francie.Doug Jamiesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352075007626093585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711549903890442918.post-73449310458415972372012-10-05T18:35:32.897-04:002012-10-05T18:35:32.897-04:00Thanks for clearing up the difference between thes...Thanks for clearing up the difference between these two groups for me as well, Francie.<br />Amazing what we are led to believe about our history and how it all unfolded.<br />Happy Thanksgiving to you as well from we in Nova Scotia.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711549903890442918.post-80423403250891939172012-10-05T10:32:42.181-04:002012-10-05T10:32:42.181-04:00LOl...very true, and yes, I'm so thankful to b...LOl...very true, and yes, I'm so thankful to be able to roast my turkey this weekend!
