What exactly does Thanksgiving mean?
But Thanksgiving also comes with its own narrative about peaceful coexistence between white settlers and Native Americans.

When they venture to tell a Thanksgiving story with only white characters, they inevitably end up celebrating violence.
These characters' good intentions are not the subject of FastHorse’s satire, but rather their cringe-inducing arrogance.
That doesn’t mean those people shouldn’t make other stories!

Carden is absolutely hilarious as the airheaded Alicia.
