We celebrate Thanksgiving today due to the kindness of the Indians who
kept settlers alive in New England.  The English treated the lady who
married John Smith very badly in England, Pocahantos.  Her story is
still being told.
"The others", those who would not work at Jamestown and wanted someone
else to provide them with food, they are the type that do not get along
with either the frontiersmen or the natives.  They want to build cities
and huddle together in misery instead.
