Actually, the Pilgrims & the Natives were not the first Thanksgiving. It wasn't even the first on this continent. And the reason it became a holiday had nothing to do with Pilgrims; it had to do with a magazine editor writing letters for 40 years because she thought the industrial revolution was destroying family values, and she was trying to get a holiday established that revolved around hearth and home. And Thanksgiving was certainly never an attempt at genocide. People didn't know much about microbes back then and certainly didn't know anything about vaccinations. By your logic we have to give up Oktoberfest because of the Holocaust and Christmas because of the Inquisition.
