American Indians

As we count down to Christmas, my mind goes back to Thanksgiving and what it means to the American Indians.
I have read that the American Indians gave the pilgrims food in 1960 (Massachusetts) because they were staving and didn't have any food.  The following year both Indians and Pilgrims celebrated together.
That's great to hear and good for the Indians that help the Pilgrims out, little did they know that in years to come all most all the Indians were wiped out.

Here in Australia we say thank you to the Indigenous people for letting us be here, because they were here before us, so its only right to say thank you.

I'm wondering if you say thank you to the American Indians and do they get anything in return from those that took over there land??

Or do you forget that the American Indians were there first??
