Perry Ground, of the Onondaga Turtle Clan, speaks to local students about the historically accurate history of Thanksgiving at the Harrietstown Town Hall on Tuesday. He addressed misconceptions — some of which were repeated through textbooks for years — including what Native Americans wore, why the Pilgrims are known as “pilgrims” and who famous Indigenous people really were. Ground’s session, “Rethinking Thanksgiving — A Native American Perspective on an American Holiday” was put on through the Saranac Lake Free Library. (Enterprise photo — Aaron Marbone)
