What is the best summary of Keeler’s argument in "Thanksgiving: A Native American View" ?

Answer
A
American Indians should take revenge for the way they were treated by European Americans.
B
We should be thankful that the American Indians were able to save the Pilgrims.
C
We should be thankful, because so many of the foods we eat on Thanksgiving were first grown by American Indians.
D
We each have a responsibility to try to get rid of the hatred, bigotry, and greed that affected American Indians.

Explanation

Keeler’s argument calls on people to recognize the injustice and harmful attitudes directed toward American Indians and to work against them. The best summary is that everyone has a responsibility to help end hatred, bigotry, and greed. The other choices focus on revenge, the Pilgrims, or Thanksgiving foods rather than Keeler’s broader message.
