Pilgrims and Indians might have eaten corn on the cob together, but they definitely didn't hold hands! Now you can make that dream come true. The Pilgrim and Indian chain is a great craft that can be hung in doorways, across window treatments and even over your baby's crib.

  • Take five pieces of computer paper and lay them down in a row. Using clear tape, connect the papers into one long strip.
  • Fold the paper into an accordion, each section measuring four inches
  • Download the cut out, print it out, and cut around the outside edges.
  • Place the cutout onto the accordion paper. Make sure it touches each side of the four-inch section, or else the project will not work! Cut along the top and bottom of the cutout, being careful not to clip the sides. The sides must retain their folds.
  • Pull apart your people chain and enjoy!

Though I definitely want my four-year-old to EVENTUALLY read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", I think the coloring book might traumatize her at the moment.

as good as this is, it rings remarkably (and sadly) so so true - even today
 
subject: Loving Indians, or just hating Americans?

This art is neither brilliant nor original. It is the product of a mind that is the product of the culture. Contemporary mores have justified the defamation of our American heritage, thus the producers of this art shamelessly and ignorantly propagate half truths. These pages neither uphold the majesty of the American Indian heritage, nor provide any reasonable perspective of our common American ancestry.
This art reaches no higher than hate. It is a work of ignorance showing no compassion for the American Indian and only contempt for contemporary American tradition. While the rest of "sixosix" shares useful, fun, and thoughtful commentary, this page offers nothing but cheap sophomoric sarcasm.
C'mon guys, you can do better than this! This Thanksgiving let's celebrate the heritage of the American Indian, join with our families in being thankful for the lives we now live, and learn from the past so as not to repeat its mistakes.

"Neither irony or sarcasm is argument."
Samuel Butler
