According to the calendar on here, there is something happening at Lost Garden: www.gokunming.com/en/calendar/event/10165/thanksgiving_dinner
I do not think it fits the description of not stupid expensive though :(
invite friends over for a pot luck?
@Elisa, ate both Thanksgiving and X-mas dinner at Lost Garden last year and rarely spend that kind of money for a meal but was worth every rmb.
128RMB including a glass of wine isn't bad!

Eh, I'm spending mine in Indonesia, so that's not the cheapest either :)
Hopefully at least part of the revenue from those Thanksgiving Dinners will be donated to organisations that help and support American Natives even if it's small compared to the centuries of suffering that they have endured. With time, even more people will be educated about the fact that there is a darker side of that so-called holiday that is familiar to the Natives but is not universally talked about.

"Most people will say it is a time for family to join together, share a meal and reflect on things that they are thankful for, such as a football game or a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. Others might say it was a time for pilgrims and Indians to join together in peace and harmony."
"But to the Wampanoag it was the end of an era."
"Not only do the Wampanoag mourn Thanksgiving, but all Native Americans do."

"The history of this holiday isn't just sugarcoated — it's been changed entirely, evidenced by the fact that in our society, it is supposed to represent community, diversity and peace. More specifically, it has been lied about, and the false version of events has been reiterated so often when this time of year comes around that it is accepted as true. It's an insult to those who lost their lives in what was literally genocide. There is no ambiguity there: It was genocide, and we unknowingly celebrate that annually."

"(...) many of my fellow Native Americans who view the holiday as a national day of mourning, will not celebrate Thanksgiving at all. To them, the Thanksgiving Myth amounts to the settler's justification for the genocide of Indigenous peoples and acquiescence to notions of White supremacy. They will once again protest at Plymouth Rock and disseminate stories pointing out the many massacres of Native Americans by the Pilgrims."
do you honestly expect people to sit around mourning for native americans on thanksgiving? good luck.
Yankee is raising awareness of relatively recent history. Good for him! More people need to know this stuff.
