Unlike some more serious Thanksgiving films, the cult classic dismantles the whitewashed notions of the holiday

Camp Chippewa is supposed to be a place “to learn, to grow, and to just plain have fun,” but it’s the exact opposite. Wednesday and Pugsley act and look nothing like the other campers, the majority of which are preppy blondes with racist, ignorant worldviews — that are unfortunately shared by, Gary Granger and Becky Martin-Granger . Wednesday and Pugsley remain outcasts throughout the summer, refusing to participate in group activities, including the Grangers’ Thanksgiving play.
On the final day of camp, the children perform the Grangers’ Thanksgiving play, which is, of course, a racist account of the first Thanksgiving. The pilgrims are played by Amanda and her clique of friends. As Pocahontas, Wednesday leads the other camp misfits — the campers of color, the ones with hebraic features not erased by rhinoplasty gifted by rich parents, and those with disabilities — as Native Americans to the Pilgrims’ feast.
