Do they have a celebration for any of these other groups who had their land taken from them? Do these other groups have a day of thanksgiving for a time when they and the other group were living in harmony? Then behind the facade of that bed time story you have the reality of the people being subjugated, oppressed, and exterminated? I agree this sort of human behavior has been going on for centuries, but no one has a kumbaya story making it into a celebration feast when in fact the real story was about a people having their lives ruined by the people they once shared sweet fellowship?
