Willow’s views on Thanksgiving (seen in 4.08 Pangs) seem to come directly from her mother, Sheila, who we met in 3.11 Gingerbread:
Willow: “Yeah. Thanksgiving isn’t about blending of two cultures. It’s about one culture wiping out another. And then they make animated specials about the part where… with the maize and the big, big belt buckles. They don’t show you the next scene, where all the bison die and Squanto takes a musket ball in the stomach.”
Buffy: “Okay. Now for some of that, you were channelling your mother?”
Willow: “Well, yeah, sort of. That’s why she doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving or Columbus Day. You know, the destruction of the indigenous peoples? I know it sounds a little overwrought but really, she’s… she’s right.”
