Abstract

Thanksgiving Day is a special event that is annually celebrated by Americans in every where they live. They had the deep history with this event because the American’s immigrants were ever helped by American’s Indian when they arrived in American’s land. They returned the Indians’ kindness because their help made the immigrant still alive and be able to reach the goals in the New Land.American’s Indians can live together with the immigrants especially coming from Europe although having different culture. The coloring of tadition of the life aspects or sides in their society can run in peace. Although it cannot be denied they had ever had conflicts, such as Civil War, Race of Black and White, etc.Americans always appreciate their history; they always appreciate their Heros; “Good or Wrong is My Country” so that they can build their country became “The Super Power” in the world. This country has many kinds of society coming from many countries and can live together from this condition. America can be called a Plural Country.This condition is caused by a good understanding of The Past, Present, and Future that becomes The American Studies Theory. Every event always has relations between past, present, and future. Therefore Thanksgiving always has relations like this, too. Ameicans always celebrate this in the fourth Thursday November every year. It is a symbol of saying to thanks to American Indians that always look after them until now and future.
