Sharing and civility among the Pilgrims and Native Americans made the very first feast of Thanksgiving quite special, I am certain.
No tribute to the holiday would be complete without mentioning the life-saving aid given the new settlers. However we view the New World intrusion of Europeans, it's good to note that there was a moment in time when respect for the ways of others was acknowledged and appreciated. Good to remember.
One of my favorite Native American depictions - they're just so cute! - is of two babies in photos I discovered displayed in an Ashcroft Ghost Town building, several miles from Aspen, in the glorious Rocky Mountains.
Enjoy!

Babes in a shoe.
Yep. They look like snowshoes.
I've always found it sad that the natives doomed themselves by teaching Europeans how to survive here.
Those pictures are adorable!
Tshs: Such a world, huh.
This picture is soooo cute.
I too hate the stories of when the Europeans came over. The stories are painful. Shows how adaptable we are though even with all of our flaws.
Sandy: Adaptable is right! Glad you liked the photo, too.
