This Thanksgiving, we\u2019d like to reflect on the immense contributions of Native Peoples. Let\u2019s acknowledge a few of the vital Indigenous contributions to Western civilization that Americans enjoy and take pride in every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Food<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the foods we consider to be of European heritage actually originated in the Americas. In fact, roughly 60 percent of our everyday staples, including the peanut, potato, tomato, squash, and pepper \u2014 even maple syrup and chocolate! \u2014 originated in American Indigenous agriculture and diet. Fun fact: The Italians didn\u2019t dream of a tomato-based pizza sauce until the Spanish brought the tomato back from the Americas to Europe! And did you know that we can thank Indigenous peoples for the invention of barbeque? People of the Southern United States adopted this method of covering meat with sauces and cooking it over an open fire from the Taino people on the Island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean.

We may be starting to turn a corner on climate action, with even automakers and fossil fuel companies implementing changes. Thanks to Indigenous cultures, there\u2019s been a conservation effort alive since well before these companies (or this country) existed. According to a 2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/what-conservation-efforts-can-learn-from-indigenous-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scientific American<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, at least one quarter of the planet\u2019s land is owned, occupied, or managed by Indigenous peoples. And environmental degradation is happening at a slower rate on those lands than on the rest of the planet. Says Rutgers Professor Pamela McElwee, as quoted in the article: \u201cThis is a watershed moment in acknowledging that indigenous and local communities play really important roles in maintaining and managing biodiversity and landscapes that the rest of us can learn from.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Democracy Itself<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Native American civilizations contributed to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/native-america\/blogs\/native-voices\/how-the-iroquois-great-law-of-peace-shaped-us-democracy\/#:~:text=Franklin%20referenced%20the%20Iroquois%20model,the%20Continental%20Congress%20in%201776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the very root of our democracy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Benjamin Franklin said that the Iroquois Confederacy was his original inspiration for our federal government. He referenced the Iroquois model when presenting his Plan of Union at the Albany Congress in 1754. Franklin also invited the Great Council Members of the Iroquois to address the Continental Congress of 1776. Past civilizations including the Inca, Maya, and Aztec also influenced modern democracy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Patriotism<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout United States history, even as Native tribes were persecuted, they made invaluable contributions to the country\u2019s efforts overseas.
