Thanksgiving. The quintessential American holiday. What's a good celebration theme appropriate for an annual tradition? How about a great story!

Here is an entertaining version of the Thanksgiving story full of satire spelling out the historical truth according to our informed storyteller.

Originally recorded in 1974, the sometimes tongue and cheek prose was written and voiced by Bama, The Village Poet. 

Watch the 3 minute 41 second Thanksgiving Story video. We produced it in 2007 and updated it again in 2018. Hear Bama's take on the holiday in his own words. His opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect our own beliefs.
