Analyzing Keeler’s Reasoning
:
• “Thanksgiving to me has never been about Pilgrims.”
:
• “We were to sing ‘Land of the Indian’s pride’ instead.”
:
• “Our people . . . had been here much longer and taken much better care of the land.”
Thanksgiving to me has never been about
Pilgrims. When I was six, my mother, a woman
of the Dineh nation, told my sister and me
not to sing “Land of the Pilgrim’s pride” in
“America the Beautiful.” Our people, she said,
had been here much longer and taken much
better care of the land. We were to sing “Land
of the Indian’s pride” instead.
