For Americans, it's when Native Americans and Pilgrims dined on the food that the Native Americans helped them grow, hunt, and cook.

 
Then we stole their land and killed them with blankets.


yea in Plymouth, probably your relatives

Actually, tomorrow, it's Canada's Thanksgiving. America's is on November 27th

I'm "from Canada" and I have no clue what it's about.
And it's common knowledge what the american one is about.
Maybe it's us trying to copy off of them.

a big turkey dinner to celebrate our thanks to the indians for helping the pilgrims or something like that

It is to celebrate when the Native Americans helped the pilgrims survive their first winter in North America.

Its being thankful that we could plunder the native American's land.

We celebrate it by eating turkey and delicious pies.

When the pilgrims came to America, the indians helped them out, so they had a feast. That's Thanksgiving.
