This is not just an English lesson, but also a lesson about history and culture. Thank you so much, Mike, for the attention and time you sacrifice for us.
Thanksgiving video is just wonderful. My parents watched it too, and love it. It's nice to know that people celebrate Thanksgiving in your country, even though it has a dark side because it's good to stop, and take a time to say "Thank you" for all the things you have in your life. I believe that blessed are the thankful in heart. We are so happy to have you as our Super Teacher, Mike. We really love you, and appreciate your wonderful work.😊😊 Keep it up!
Wow. It's an amazing educative video. Thanks a lot for your great job. I love to learn a little bit about your culture, in this case Thanksgiving. I think we should be grateful to God for each day of life and all his blessings. Enjoy this special day for you, Mike.😊😊
Breathtaking video! Amazing, very interesting, impressive, especially precious video on Thanksgiving! It has exceptional significance by presenting historical background and present ways of its celebrating by Americans. Thanks a lot, Mike!
I practiced my listening, learned new vocabulary, and interesting things about Thanksgiving. 😊😊 Thanks a lot, Mike. It was really sad that people from foreign countries killed native Americans or indigenous Americans. The same happened to my country. The 90 percent of Inkas were killed by Spain people.
thank you ,Sir Mike for the history you sent us and all about thanksgiving and how it is being celebrated according to such regions and traditions or events .
There is a lot of information in this meaningful beautiful video. I really appreciate all your efforts and time, our Super Teacher. It looks like a history class, and I love history. Thanks you so much, Mike😊😊
I never get bored of watching this video I love the English and the information presented in this lesson.I hope you share some pictures when you celebrate it. Thank you.🙏
Thanks a lot, Mike. It was a really interesting video. There were so many new things I didn't know before. Thank you for your effort. We have so many reasons to be thankful.❤
That was a great lesson. Thanks for sharing the story behind Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing both sides of that story. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.🌻
This video is a mixture of history,culture and a lot of interesting vocabulary.I just spent a wonderful time watching it. I am sure you spent a lot of time and energy preparing it. Is THANKSGIVING celebrated in the USA only?🙏🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you very much! I have worked with this video with my fifth graders in Sweden. Do you know if there is anything similar to watch about the holidays in Great Britain?
You're very welcome! Thanks for letting me know that you found it useful!🙏 I'm sure there are videos like this one, but I myself have never tried searching for them.😅
Thank you Mike! I’d read about the history behind this celebration but I’d never understood it well…the dark side to it is something I didn’t know. Do you have a video about what Americans do on the 4th of July?
Helpful and interesting video, Mike. I'm not sure if I've have already asked you this question but would you agree that Thanksgiving is the biggest Holiday in America? More important than Christmas?
The mistreatment of Native American and Indigenous peoples was not solely perpetrated by Europeans but also by the American government and settlers. Here are some examples of the mistreatment they endured: 1. Forced Relocations: The U.S. government implemented a policy of forced relocations of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands to designated reservations. One infamous example is the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which resulted in the forced displacement of thousands of Native Americans from the southeastern United States. 2. Massacres and Violence: Numerous massacres and violent conflicts occurred between American settlers, militias, and Native American tribes. Examples include the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864, where Colorado militia killed and mutilated over 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho people, and the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890, where U.S. soldiers killed around 300 Lakota Sioux, including women and children. 3. Assimilation Policies: The U.S. government implemented assimilation policies aimed at eradicating Native American cultures and traditions. The boarding school system, as mentioned earlier, forcibly separated Native American children from their families and subjected them to forced assimilation, cultural suppression, and abuse. 4. Loss of Land and Treaties: Native American tribes were subjected to a series of unfair treaties that resulted in the loss of their ancestral lands. Treaties were often violated or ignored by the U.S. government, leading to further land dispossession and encroachment on Indigenous territories. 5. Cultural Suppression: Native American languages, religions, and cultural practices were actively suppressed by the U.S. government. Indigenous ceremonies and spiritual practices were often banned, and efforts were made to eradicate Indigenous languages and replace them with English. 6. Economic Exploitation: Native American communities were often subjected to economic exploitation. Their lands and resources were seized, and they were marginalized in economic development. The Dawes Act of 1887, for instance, aimed to break up tribal landholdings and allocate them to individual Native Americans, which often resulted in loss of land and resources. These are just a few examples of the mistreatment and injustices endured by Native American and Indigenous peoples at the hands of the American government and settlers. It is important to acknowledge and learn from this history in order to work towards reconciliation and justice for Indigenous communities. Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States that is traditionally associated with the celebration of the Pilgrims' arrival in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620 and their feast with the Wampanoag tribe in 1621. However, it is essential to recognize that the history surrounding Thanksgiving is more complex and has often overlooked the negative impact on Native American and Indigenous peoples. Additionally, conflicts between European settlers and Indigenous peoples were prevalent throughout history. Treaties were often violated, leading to armed conflicts and the displacement of Native American communities from their ancestral lands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, for example, forcibly relocated thousands of Native Americans from the southeastern United States to designated Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), resulting in the Trail of Tears, a journey marked by immense suffering and loss of life. Furthermore, boarding schools were established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the goal of assimilating Native American children into Western culture. These schools forcefully separated children from their families, suppressed Indigenous languages and cultures, and subjected them to physical and emotional abuse. The Thanksgiving holiday itself has often been criticized for perpetuating a simplified and romanticized narrative of harmonious relations between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. The reality is far more complex, and the holiday can be seen as a reminder of the historical injustices and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to reframe Thanksgiving as a National Day of Mourning, highlighting the history of oppression and honoring the resilience of Native American communities. This approach aims to foster a more honest and inclusive understanding of history and promote dialogue and reconciliation. It is important to recognize the painful history surrounding the colonization of North America and to work towards a more equitable and just society that respects the rights and cultures of Indigenous peoples.
Thank you for adding this! I tried to be very thoughtful anout how I made this video because I was not going to be able to fit all of that important information into a short video for English learners.
So the perception of turkey day is to give thanks but the reality of the history is dark and gloomy. Reminds me, and so many others, of the same tales. Until imetu.

Hi Mike, I'm not sure why I can't see Luu Ly's comments on UA-cam anymore! I always seem to have technological problems.
I'm not sure either. Sorry!
Thanks for sharing sir🎉❤
You're welcome!
Thank you Mike! I’d read about the history behind this celebration but I’d never understood it well…the dark side to it is something I didn’t know. Do you have a video about what Americans do on the 4th of July?
I do! But you've probably already seen it by now. Sorry I missed this comment!
Merci !
Thank you very much!
Nice ❤️
Helpful and interesting video, Mike. I'm not sure if I've have already asked you this question but would you agree that Thanksgiving is the biggest Holiday in America? More important than Christmas?
Yes. I think at least 80% of Americans celebrate it. The Sunday after Thanksgiving is usually the busiest day of the year for travel
is that day off day in the USA?
For most people, yes.
❤️🙏
"Thanksgiving Day" is a national holiday in the United States."😊😊❤🎉🎆
Yes, but we just call it "Thanksgiving," not "Thanksgiving Day."

Happy Birthday Sir Mike🎉🫡
Have a great and prosperous life ahead
U look thirties, I guess.
Thank you! I'm glad you don't think I'm 45 like some people do!😅
Oh, no. You're really look young, Mike. Maybe, they need to wear glasses.😊
Wow Delicious Pavo ♥️♥️🍅🍅🍅♥️♥️🍅🍅🍅
There are some food-related words that I don't know, so I don't know how to write them.
Do you mean words from this video? You can turn on the captions.
I think we should take a moment to say "God, thank you so much for everything I have in my life." 😊
alway talk slowly this way help as to understand a lot
Was this video slow or not slow?
So the perception of turkey day is to give thanks but the reality of the history is dark and gloomy. Reminds me, and so many others, of the same tales. Until imetu.
I mean, the reality is that it is a day to give thanks. However, there is history to it that is important to understand.
So enjoy it and don’t fret that someone can’t take your ball.
Turkey is not as delicious as chicken?
Turkey is very similar to chicken.
