About this deal

Although the Wampanoag and the pilgrims did not exist as harmoniously as many are taught, many tribal members still take the holiday to celebrate family, Gone and Peters said. Walsh’s attorneys said he didn’t buy the island as a “tropical paradise for entertainment” but as a real estate opportunity. They did not explain how the businessman would have transformed the isolated isle into a profit center. One of the most underwritten parts of history is the colonisation of Asia, and its legacy. Lust, Caution, the 1979 novella by Eileen Chang, about a group of Chinese students who plot to assassinate a wartime collaborator of the invading Japanese during the second world war, shows us this moment in history, and the terrible grey areas that emerge in these times. Understanding this history is important – it’s the only way we learn how not to repeat it. But the book is also a masterclass in writing the duality of human beings. To me, changing the world starts with knowing the world. Lust, Caution taught me a little bit more about the world, and about people.

As the teacher explained how "friendly Indians" came to help settlers arriving on the Mayflower, Peters was excited to hear about her own history in the classroom. She's a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe who grew up to become an independent scholar of the history of the Wampanoag, who have inhabited present-day Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years, according to the tribe.

When we talk about world-changing books, we often focus on adult nonfiction, but in many ways the stories we tell the younger generations can be the most impactful in changing minds, capturing hearts and galvanising readers to believe they can create real change. When Our Worlds Collided by Danielle Jawando is just such a book: a coming-of-age story that takes a searing and honest look at racial discrimination in the education and justice systems. It will leave young readers heartbroken and angry, but full of the fiery belief that something needs to change, and that together they can be part of creating that change. The classics were sometimes profoundly critical of their world and ours. I admire the clarity with which Euripides discards the glitter of legend to denounce the widespread brutality. During wartime, he dared to take the side of the women instead of the men, the enemy instead of his compatriots, and the losers instead of the winners. Over time, Hecuba has spoken anew in the name of the victims, before we could begin to forget.

Hearing the blasts, the Wampanoag thought it was a threat. The supreme leader Massasoit Ousamequin assembled a small army of approximately 90 warriors and approached the settlement, much to the surprise of the pilgrims. The pilgrims were celebrating their first harvest when they fired off muskets repeatedly, a form of entertainment for the settlers. Whetstone emphasized that, as Indigenous peoples are not a monolith, many will have different opinions and relationships to the day. We need a revolution. It begins with falling in love with the Earth again,” writes the Vietnamese peace activist and Buddhist master Thích Nhát Hanh in Love Letter to the Earth, a slim, powerful book that should be a new Bible. In a series of beautifully written letters toMother Earth, suggested practices for the appreciation of all living things including oneself, and other “healing steps”, Hanh has given us a practical, spiritual, poetic and life-saving guide to how to fall in love again. He explains “there is no difference between healing ourselves and healing the planet” and why “caring for the environment is not an obligation, but a matter of personal and collective happiness and survival”. The Crown by Emily Kapff is simple, beautiful and heart-wrenching: a dispatch from the future that takes the form of a picture book. A little girl, a princess, stands atop a landfill mound and has a message for us. This is a contemplative text with thoughtful and detailed illustrations that roll out from the possible grey of the future to the vibrant colours of life and nature that could be reclaimed. This is a book that begs us to change the world.

Whetstone said she hopes that as people sit with the truth, they feel inspired to take action. She suggested the following: I mean, you can't argue with people coming together and celebrating family, good fortune and being thankful. That's an important holiday to have," Peters said. "But it is also a platform that we as Indigenous people have to step on and remind people of the significance of our story and the myths that are perpetuated by the Thanksgiving holiday." With the upcoming holiday, known by many as Thanksgiving but recognized by Native American communities as the National Day of Mourning, Peters and other Indigenous activists and scholars are advocating for the recognition of the Wampanoag's true history. They say that must be grounded in the fact that they existed far before and long after the pilgrims' first harvest feast. Walsh operated a small fleet of cigar-shaped blimps that flew corporate logos over crowded venues. In June 2017, one of his blimps crashed and burned on live television at the men’s U.S. Open golf tournament, one of the world’s premier sporting events.
