I think one of the points here is that Thanksgiving, although based on the conceit of settler/native cooperation, was instituted fairly recently (I'm thinking Great Depression era or WWII?) and, like many of our legal holidays, had its origins more in social engineering than in history.

The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.
