DAY OF THE DEAD/DIA DE LOS MUERTOS/HALLOWEEN:
HALLOWEEN HAS INDIGENOUS EUROPEAN MESO-AMERICAN-NATIVE AMERICAN ORIGINS, WHERE PEOPLE WOULD GATHER FOR 2 DAYS, TYPICALLY BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1 AND 2 OR SOMETIMES BETWEEN OCTOBER 31 AND NOVEMBER 6 TO REMEMBER THOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY.
IT IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE THE PASSING OF THEIR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES, BUT NOT TO MOURN THEM. THEY CHERISH THE TIMES THEY HAD WITH THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED WITH FESTIVALS AND ITEMS THEY USED TO LOVE OR OWNED OR FOODS THEY USED TO LOVE TO EAT.
ITS OKAY TO TRICK OR TREAT, BECAUSE ITS GIVING AND SHARING GIFTS, FOODS, OR TRICKS, JOKES, AND OR MESSAGES.
ITS OKAY TO DRESS UP IN COSTUMES, BECAUSE CULTURALLY PEOPLE USE MASKS IN ‘DIA DE LOS MERTOS’ FESTIVALS.

THANKSGIVING:
THANKSGIVING HAS NORTHERN NATIVE AMERICAN ORIGINS, FROM THE TIMES WHEN POST 1492c.e. EUROPEANS SETTLED IN NORTH AMERICA IN THE 1600’s.
A PEACEFUL UNION BETWEEN WHAT WOULD BE THE MEETING OF TWO LONG LOST COUSINS, THE POST 1492C.E. EUROPEANS AND INDIGENOUS EUROPEAN NATIVE AMERICANS WHO WERE SPLIT APART BECAUSE OF THE MELTING OF BERINGIA, FIVE THOUSAND TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS PRIOR TO 1492C.E.
MANY BEASTS WERE SACRIFICED AND COOKED, DEER, PIG, POULTRY OF ALL SORTS, BEEF ALONG WITH CORN, SQUASH AND MANY OTHER VEGETABLES AND STARCHES.
TURKEY THE TRADITIONAL MEAT OF THANKSGIVINGS DAY IS NATIVE TO THE NEW WORLD AND PROVIDES MUCH MORE NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT AND VALUE THAN THE CHICKEN.

THE YULE-SATURNALIA FESTIVAL:
THE MIS-INFORMING TERM OF XMAS FOR WHAT IS REALLY YULE HAS ANCIENT EUROPEAN ORIGINS FROM EUROPEAN TRIBES AND CUSTOMS;

THE YULE LOG USED TO BE DECORATED BEFORE IT WAS BURNED IN A LARGE PIT FIRE;
THEY BAKED TASTY TREATS;
IT WAS CELEBRATED BETWEEN THE 12 DAYS OF THE WINTER SOLSTICE CHANGE TYPICALLY BETWEEN DECEMBER 21 AND JANUARY 1ST OF EVERY GREGORIAN CALENDAR. WINTER SYMBOLIZED THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF THE SUN;
THERE WAS DANCING, CHANTING OR CAROLING, GIFT EXCHANGES LIKE STUFFING OF SOCKS WITH GIFTS, AND RITUALS LIKE KISSING UNDER A MISTLETOE;
CAKES WERE BAKED WITH THE FRUITS HARVESTED, THEY WERE KNOWN AS FRUITCAKES, WHICH IS THE ORIGIN OF THE MEDIEVAL EUROPEAN PLUM CAKES, AND THE MODERN FRUIT PIES;

YULE FESTIVAL TRADITIONS DATES BACK TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS, FROM EUROPE TO THE NEW WORLD:
INDIGENOUS EUROPEAN YULE FESTIVAL AND DECORATION DATE BACK OVER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS. AS INDIGENOUS EUROPEANS MIGRATED THROUGH THE COLD AND THROUGH BERINGIA THE ICE LAND INTO THE NEW WORLD AND BECAME INDIGENOUS EUROPEAN NATIVE AMERICANS, THEY BROUGHT THEIR DEVELOPING CULTURE AND TRADITIONS. ALONG WITH THE CONCEPT OF YGGDRASIL TREE OF LIFE, OTHER NATIVE INDIGENOUS EUROPEANS KEPT USING THE YULE FESTIVAL EVERGREEN TRADITIONS, AS THEY DECORATED THEM AND PLACED AN EAGLE AT THE TOP OF THE EVERGREEN TREE, MUCH LIKE WE DO IN PRESENT DAY WITH A STAR. THEY REFFERED TO IT AS THE TREE OF PEACE (WHITE PINE) OR HAUDENOSAUNEE (IT SIGNIFIED UNITY AND A WARNING TO POTENTIAL DANGER). THE FEATHERS USED TO PLACE ON THE TREES, AS A CEREMONY, WERE A SYMBOL OF SPIRITUAL CONNECTION AND PROTECTION. THE FEATHERS INDICATED BRAVE DEEDS, WERE HIGHLY SACRED, AND NEVER DISRESPECTED. THE EAGLE SYMBOLIZED POWER, WISDOM, AND A MESSENGER TO THE CREATOR. MUCH LIKE HOW THE YULE LOG WAS DECORATED, TOTEM POLES WERE OFTEN DECORATED IN THE SAME MANNER.
