Thanksgiving is this week. Traditionally, we remember immigrants who came to this land and we celebrate their joining with the native population to give thanks. Is that a true depiction of what happened? Does that happen now? We’re talking about immigration and immigrants in our area. https://law.uark.edu/service-outreach/clinics/index/uid/am242/name/Amelia+McGowan/
