Hi apushatayid. It is part of what they do..lol. Frankly, I oppose the holiday for historical reasons as when the Europeans were inept at surviving the winters here, it was the Native Americans who befriended them and taught them to survive, only to be paid back with the wiping out of their people. Nice hakaras hatov. Like Halloween, the meanings of those holidays dilute and morph so much, they lose their meaning. BUT…it is a big day for their families to cook and socialize together and visit others, and it’s not up to me to validate their holiday and what it represents to them.
