Native Americans Celebrate Thanksgiving by Getting More Drunk Than Usual

By Brook Hutchinson

While placing some bets at the brand-new Pechanga Casino-Resort-Reservation last weekend, I overheard Al Chemoya, aka "Whispering Leaf," tell his friend Eddie Piper, Jr., aka "Babbling Brook," that he would spend this festive Thanksgiving completely inebriated as usual.

For the Indians across this great nation, there is no real reason to celebrate this ridiculous American holiday. A day to what? To celebrate one more example of the United States throwing its weight around and slaughtering injuns like buffalo?

Just so long as my mom makes that stuffing, just the way I like it, Thanksgiving is alright with me. And isn't that the real reason we rejoice this wondrous day of overindulgence, football watching, and napping?

The American Indians got a raw deal, and our government should be ashamed of their abhorrent behavior.

May your Thanksgiving holiday be memorable and pleasant. Mr. Chemoya also added that Pechanga Casino has the loosest slots in California.
