[video] US festival of #Thanksgiving, a #DayOfMourning for the #Wampanoag people

"This Thursday marks Thanksgiving in the United States, a festival so deeply rooted in American tradition that it's more widely celebrated than Christmas. Thanksgiving commemorates the convivial sharing of a meal between the first English pilgrims to land on the shores of present-day Massachusetts in 1620 and the Wampanoag tribe, the local inhabitants. That's the story taught in school, but for the #NativeAmericans, Thanksgiving is in fact a day of mourning. Our correspondents Fanny Allard and Fraser Jackson report."
