Review of The Gathering - A Modern Thanksgiving Story

An unusual and thought-provoking Thanksgiving special. I love the sound of the fire crackling while people are talking reflectively about the meaning of giving thanks and the relationships between Indian and white communities. This holiday I usually call "Genocide Day" but this program brings about the true meaning or what should be the true meaning of what ought to be a day of reflection rather than feasts and football. The producers did an admiral job of creating a native talk circle for the radio, and I encourage stations to run this instead of a more traditional Thanksgiving special. This is the kind of thing you want playing while families are sitting to dinner. Very inspiring....
