What is the most accurate statement about the purposes of the poem "Ellis Island" and the essay "Thanksgiving: A Native American View"?

Both works invite readers to consider the complicated consequences of Europeans coming to America. “Ellis Island” reflects on immigration and the hopes and hardships of people arriving in the United States, while “Thanksgiving: A Native American View” challenges the usual celebratory account by presenting the effects of colonization on Native Americans. Together, they encourage reflection on this history’s complexity, rather than simply promoting guilt or focusing on healing.
