Story: J. Winter Night Wolf
On this day celebrated by many Americans as one set aside
for thanksgiving, we hear from the descendants of those who
first occupied this continent that’s come to be named
America. Many Native Americans observe this holiday far more
critically than others. With the Bush administration’s
drumbeat for an attack on the Iraqi people, some see stark
parallels between America’s past and the present.

honor of their ancestors. J. Winter Nightwolf, a member of
the Buffalo Ridge Cherokee and RICO NEWMAN of the Piscataway
