Looks like Old Time Pottery has figured out the Thanksgiving dilemma.

Just saw their Thanksgiving display. Obviously absent are the Indian figurines. They have pilgrims praying and posing as a family, but instead of Indians there are all kinds of scare crows.

I realized this is supposed to be pc, but it’s a head scratcher

they didn't know what to do with the Native Americans, so they just wiped them right out of the story? That's pretty screwed up.

She said that the pilgrims were just fine and were making a celebration ruckus and the Indians crashed the party.

I also heard somewhere that there was an Indian involved, and there was a feast set up to celebrate that Indian for some reason, but what they did to him in the following years isn't exactly the stuff that makes it into the history books.

I wish we knew the real story.
