From his expression, I'd double check that is a Turkey leg he's gnawing on and not some missing homeless guy.

Thanksgiving: Day 4
It's a Land of the Lost Thanksgiving!
The Pakuni and the Marshall's learn a lesson in cooperation while foraging for food during a drought. The mythical elements of the Plymouth Thanksgiving is reversed in this episode though. Instead of the natives saving the Pilgrims from starvation it is the newcomers who save the day. At least it was from working together and not exploitation.
Based on the old folk tale, the Stone Soup episode of The Land of the Lost was first broadcast in December 1974.

Thanksgiving: Day 3
Don't even want to imagine what a JLA/JSA Thanksgiving gathering would be like in the New52. Probably a lot of spite, no one brings any food expecting that everyone else would, sneering comments about competence and fistfights.
From JSA #54 (2004).

Thanksgiving: Day 2
Manifest Destiny is one of those heinous beliefs, partially supernaturally derived, that newcomers to the Americas had a right and duty to expand and change the land and peoples of the Americas so as to comply to their "real" beliefs and ways of living. It is a pernicious belief that still pervades American (and honestly, other countries) acts of nationalism into the modern era. In that form or another it is effective propaganda, serving to allow certain people in removing responsibility for their actions. After all, the Universe itself says it's okay, they know it and feel it and are told by their leaders it is so.
The 1872 painting American Progress by by John Gast reveals much of the prevailing attitude of the settlers. While technology, knowledge and advances in transportation and agriculture are good for a civilization so too was it a virtue to erase what came before. Notice the lighting in the painting. As the Spirit of America heads to the west bringing illumination the natives and their lifestyle flee the light of progress, staying to the darkness, unable or unwilling to embrace the new era.

Thanksgiving: Day 1
Many Americans would be surprised to learn that the first Thanksgiving, celebrated in a region claimed by what would be the United States, was held not by Pilgrims and Plains Tribe members but between Spaniards and the native Timucuans. There are a few variations of who did what first but it is recorded that the first Thanksgiving occurred around 1564, about 57 years before the famous and extremely mythologized celebration at Plymouth Rock.
