Not to rain on our Thanksgiving Day parade, but the story of the first Thanksgiving, as most Americans have been taught it, is not exactly accurate. Blame school textbooks with details often so abridged, softened or out of context that they are rendered false; children’s books that distill the story to its most pleasant version; or animated Thanksgiving television specials like “The Mouse on the Mayflower,” which first aired in 1968, that not only misinformed a generation, but also enforced a slew of cringeworthy stereotypes. https...

We'll talk about this history,...

A man who molested children on the Warm Springs and Yakama Indian reservations was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in federal prison. The abuse allegations against Ernest Colin Selam first surfaced in 2003 when one victim disclosed to a school that Selam had molested her years prior on the Warms Springs reservation.
