Get the how-to and templates for these Mayflower Centerpieces here.
However, be sure you know the Indian perspective of Thanksgiving, too. There is a (somewhat shocking) piece here about the Myths of Thanksgiving, as understood in American Indian realms.
Here's my view:
When it comes to history no one really knows what happened or why. History is as much about human experience as the present-- and how easy is it to find unbiased news coverage? There are always (at least) two sides to every story, and the human mind is innately biased, subjective, and personal. So enjoy your Mayflower centerpieces, while knowing that today Thanksgiving is about family, sharing, opportunity, blessings, and nourishment for stomach and soul. Harvest the positive while being aware of the negative.

Happy November!
I agree with you on your views on history. I've been interested in the post-war events (the civil war here after WWII) and what I get is different aspects and points of view.

Mmmm... I bet you are on that era! Another sticky, very personal point in history. Then again, what era wasn't personal? Good luck in those studies!
