>Thanksgiving dinner: Never has the history of a meal been so obscured by
>myth. The Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony did share a meal with the Wampanoag
>Indians in the autumn of 1621, but the details are uncertain. The only
>documentary evidence of the event comes from the journal of Plymouth Colony's
>governor, Edward Winslow, who noted simply that the colonists met with
>Chief Massasoit and 90 of his men for a feast that lasted four days.

>Government-sponsored boarding schools for American Indian children were
>designed for one purpose: assimilation. But things changed. As generations
>of American Indians went to the boarding schools and the government's
>position
>toward Indian life changed, views changed. More and more students came
>by choice or their families' decision as tribes began to gain control of
>the schools. They eventually looked at boarding-school life as part of
>their cultural identity. What started out as forced assimilation became
>adaptation. Research into this part of Indian history is relatively new,
>not more than 25 years old, said Margaret Connell-Szasz, a professor at
>the University of New Mexico.

>The Mechanicville Hydroelectric Station is drawing attention as never before.
>A coalition of engineers, historians and preservation groups wants to restore
>the Mechanicville station and turn it into a working museum of the region's
>industrial past. The effort to save the power plant is the work of a
>preservation
>movement that is increasingly looking beyond battlefields and the gilded
>mansions of the rich and famous to reclaim remnants of the industrial
>landscape.
