Ah! on Thanksgiving day....

When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,

And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.

What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?

What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?

~John Greenleaf Whittier

On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence. ~William Jennings Bryan

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace...

Treat all men alike. Give them all the

same law. Give them all an even chance

to live and grow.All men were made by

the same Great Spirit Chief.

They are all brothers. The Earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it....

Let me be a free man,free to travel,

free to stop,free to work,free to trade where I choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers,free to think and talk and act for myself, and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Heinmot Tooyalaket ( Chief Joseph), Nez Perce Leader


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Enjoy your loved ones, good food and good health, today and in future.
