Along similar lines: An anti-colonial Thanksgiving in Berlin, or an American expat in Berlin attempts to explain the holiday to German kids without lapsing into colonialist whitewashing. (Tl;dr: a harvest festival as a starting point, acts of indigenous resistance, and Thanksgiving having been proclaimed by Lincoln after defeating the Confederacy and abolishing slavery.)
