The 3 names to Remember:
Taino;
Arawak;
Lucayan;
Taino means “the good people”
Arawaks
The Taino are considered to be part of
the Arawaks.
And the Lucayan people, who were a part
of the Taino people, which also makes them Arawak too;

Here's a major American Thanksgiving
player.
John Winthrop, said that Pilgrims were
“the city on the hill”, that all others were to emulate;
John Winthrop has got curly hair, long
curly hippie hair, perfectly parted in the middle, Mr. parts his long
curly hippie hair in the middle, who wears a ruff, a frilly ruff;
A ruff, around the neck; it's called a
ruff;
it reminds me of the powdered wigs some
of the founding fathers wore. That's when I revert back to my German
mother, and I'm like, I'm not like you uppity stuck up effeminate
protestant aristocracy; yall keep on wearing your powdered wigs, and
your frilly lil ruffs, covering up ur neck, for whatever reason.
1500s Queen Elizabeth made ruffs cool.
Ruffs were
often coloured during starching, vegetable dyes were used to give the
ruff a yellow, pink or mauve tint. A pale blue colour could also be
obtained via the use ofsmalt, although Elizabeth I took against this
pale blue colour and issued a Royal Prerogative:
“Her Majesty's pleasure is that no
blue starch shall be used or worn by any of her Majesty's subjects,
since blue was the color of the flag of Scotland.”
The ruff was banned in Spain under
Philip IV (orchestrated by Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of
Olivares).
While Ruffs remain part of the formal
attire of bishops and ministers in the Church of Denmark, Ruffs were
abolished by the Church of Norway in 1980, although some conservative
ministers such as Børre Knudsen continued to wear them.
Borre Kundsen keeps the tradition going
strong;
John Winthrop would be the first
Englishman to officially declare a holiday of Thanksgiving, right
after the Massacre of the Mystic River during the Pequot War in 1637.

Here's another major American
Thanksgiving player.
Sassacus (his name in Massachuset: is
Sassakusu which means (“fierce”), c. 1560 – June 1637, born
near present-day Groton, Connecticut) was a Pequot sachem.
Tatobem assassinated:
By 1622 the fur trade on the lower
Connecticut River had grown enough that the Dutch established a
permanent trading post near Hartford. Their intention was to trade
with all of the tribes in the region, but,the Pequot had other
ambitions and were determined to dominate the Connecticut trade. They
first attacked the Narragansett, not so much to seize a disputed
hunting territory in southwest Rhode Island, but to keep these
powerful rivals away from the new Dutch post. The next step was for
the Pequot to use a combination of intimidation and war to tighten
their grip on the region's trade by subjugating the neighboring
Nipmuc and Mattabesic.
However, some Mattabesic chose to
ignore them and tried to trade with the Dutch forcing the Pequot to
attack several groups of Mattabesic who had gathered near the Dutch
trading post for trade.
The Dutch are people from the
Netherlands. Here's Queen Maxima;
In 1622, a resident Dutch trader for
the Dutch West India Company, Jacob Elekens, or Jacques Elekens, had
grown annoyed with the Pequot efforts to monopolize the fur trade,
and to retaliate,
Jacob Jacques Elekens, a Dutch resident
beaver trader, while Tatobem, a Long Island Pequot sachem, went onto
his ship to trade, seized him, kidnapped him, imprisoned him, and
demanded ransom, or else Jacob Jacques Elekens would chop off
Tatobem's head.
The Pequot, wanting their chief back,
and trusting the Dutch white people once again, paid the ransom.
Jacob Eelkes (jacques elekens) received
35,000 wampum beads, 140 fathoms, as ransom.
Jacob Elekens killed the Long Island
Pequot Sachem Chief Tatobem anyways.
When the Pequot came to get Tatobem,
the Dutch gave the Pequot, Tatobem's murdered corpse.
The Dutch also blew up one of the
Pequot sachem who came to get Tatobem.
The killing of Tatobem, a Pequot
sachem, by Dutch traders ignited the flames of a conflict that would
escalate into the Pequot War. World War 1 was caused by the
assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinad, nad the Pequot War was
caused by the unnecessary pointless execution of the principal chief
Pequot sachem Tatobem.
In retaliation for Tatobem's death, the
Pequot attacked the Dutch trading post and burned it down to the
ground.
The successful extortion of ransom of
Tatobem by Elkens raised the perception of Dutch power; Pieter
Barentsz, a Dutch West India company trader successfully negotiated
an uneasy peace, a Dutch-Pequot diplomatic and trade agreement, which
lasted for 11 years, but eventually it would go sour at the Dutch
trading post “House of Hope” in the Summer of 1633.
1626, Uncas, the son of Oweneco and
Meekunump, married a daughter of Sassacus, thus connecting himself
still more closely with the royal line of his tribe.
So, to recap, Long Island Pequot sachem
Wopigwooit died, and Tatobem rose to power. After Tatobem was
assassinated, Sassacus and Uncas were the two leading figures to take
the crown of the Long Island Pequot sachem.
1634 The Dutch take Pequot Tatobem
hostage: when they receive ransom, they murder him (DeForest 72-3;
Salisbury 263, 289). Mamoho (FBH2: 257) becomes Sachem of
Mystic Village/Fort: Sassacus becomes Pequot Great Sachem at
Weinshauks/Noank, and pursues justice.
Uncas, son of Owaneco, was a Pequot
chief. Uncas's wife was the daughter of Sassacus, Sachem of the
Pequots. Mohegan Uncas conflicts with Sassacus over Pequot
Sachemship, for which Uncas has made five attempts; 5 times he
rebelled against the chief, and 5 times he was expelled away from his
possessions. A Pequot Council confirm Sassacus as the principal
Pequot sachem. Uncas is exiled to the Narragansetts, returns
forgiven, is driven out again (DeForest, Johnson).
Sassacus eventually won the crown, but
Uncas, not being able to agree to be ruled by Sassacus, broke off
from the Pequot, removed to the interior and placed himself at the
head of the Mohegan clans who occupied lands east of the Connecticut
river, and west of the great Pequot River now known as the Thames.
Uncas was the first of the Mohegans.
