Lakota historian Nick Estes talks about the violent origins of Thanksgiving and his book _Our History Is the Future_. "This history … is a continuing history of genocide, of settler colonialism and, basically, the founding myths of this country," says Estes, who is a co-founder of the Indigenous resistance group The Red Nation and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.
