You've probably seen these Cut videos pop up in your newsfeed from time to time, such as the 100 Years of Beauty in 1-Minute, or the American Kids Try Food from Around the World clips.
Recently they tackled something a bit more serious in tone by asking Native Americans to do word association with specific words such as Reservation, R*dskin, Columbus and Thanksgiving.
Here's their video for One Word: Thanksgiving.

says:It is obvious that the much younger ones can deal with the word better than the generation before them. Too often Native leaders teach a form of belief that alienates young people from the world and their own people. They are taught to live with a chip on their shoulder about what was lost and can never be returned, so they are owed something. A perfect teaching for failure, which is what is happening to young Native Americans in the Americas. The system is failing and that is why 60% of Native Americans live OFF the reservation. They want a happy life without the chip of the past weighing them down. Many do not live on Native lands because the older ones are holding so tightly onto the land that their own family members aren’t even welcome. On the Navajo Rez, thousands of acres of land with only old ones living there with no welcome smile for their own family.
