American textbooks in the future: Natives welcomed Europeans with open arms because there was so much land to give, helped build their immunity to foreign diseases thanks to them, and in return got to build cool casinos. Those lucky natives now have their own reservations and also black ppl came later. And they all lived happily ever after. :)
I basically got this version in all my elementary school history lessons in the 90's in the US. The mythos of Thanksgiving is (at least where I grew up) a huge part of the US civil religion and it's ridiculously fucked.
