Family Harvest Day. The rebirth

Ok. The true breakdown of today's festivities is a gift and a curse. What we call" Thanksgiving" through the scope of colonialism was actually honored centuries before 1491.(this year is significant) indigenous people all over had honored holy days of harvest around these times knowing agriculture, the pattern of weather and astrology. In order to honor their ancestors, they would feast and dance and tell stories in their name. Fast forward a bit to 1491, in Spain where the last stronghold of Moorish Empire were to be defeated. There were overthrown where then Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand were staking clear reign over the Moorish influences from Europe to the Americas. Here is where they gave a young upstart savage Cristobol Colon aka Christopher Columbus the ok to sail to the Americas can claim the land and its people as Spanish Property. That so called sailing to India making a mistake and sailing here calling them Indian is part true. This was done to confuse other navigators and hide the plan of colonialism and conquest from any pirates who were still ran sacking the 7 seas. When arriving Columbus and his savage band, ran into a "swarthy" people who "sable" skin glistened in the sun. (ref. The Columbus letters) The game bird of the Americas is the turkey. The capital of Morrocco is called Turkey. It went back to Spain along with some "servant guests" to solidify the start of the conquest. The court of Spain celebrated eating the Turkey in mockery of defeating the Moors. It wasn't until the first immigrants of the early 1600s (dig the time) where Europeans came with the affirmed idea to establish habitat in the name of protestan faith and to get from under the thumb of taxation. They ran into not just the native "redman" but the aboriginal "blackman". The aforementioned "swarthy, sable" skin people. Though it started in peace, it wound up being the beginning of the takeover. In closing, we should reappropriate the day under the name of our ancestors as Family Harvest Day. That is the practice that we have been doing and is in our blood to do. But to say Thanksgiving is actually as disservice to the indigenous people. It was a "thanks-taking." So peace. Live fully.. Love freely and harvest for the family. www.7czlife.com
