Since he inspired the early pioneers of this country to slaughter the Natives if they don't convert, I guess that would be a good reason to celebrate.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday. That doesn't even cover a majority of Christians worldwide, let alone everyone else who calls someone "God".

Did God do that? Last I checked, it was the settlers and not God. If you're going to blame God for every bad thing that has ever happened, then at least don't take your anger out here where people will tell you how dumb that is!

I give thanks every day of the year, so I don't need a special pre-determined, ultra-commercialized, government-sponsored date dictated to me. What makes you think Jehovah God, the Giver of Life and Creator of All Things, would need such a date to do so?
Also, what makes you think that God inspired people to kill the Natives? This was TOTALLY man's doing, and had NOTHING to do with God.

The early pioneers were looking for land.

what is a holiday without a pagan god? That's what the holidays are all about! pagan god worship.
Isa 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your APPOINTED FEAST. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."
18 "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Leviticus 23:2—
...these are MY FEASTS.
Exodus 23:14—
Three times in the year shall you keep a Feast to Me:
Yahweh has also ordained Holy Convocations during His ordained year. These Holy Convocations are also listed in Leviticus 23, and are as follows:
Yahweh's Weekly Sabbath:
Leviticus 23:3—
Six days shall work be done, but the Seventh Day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a Holy Convocation. You shall do no work on it. It is the Sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings.
In addition to the weekly seventh day Sabbath, there are seven Holy Convocations during Yahweh's sacred year.
(1) The First Holy Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:
Leviticus 23:6-7—
6 And on the Fifteenth Day of the same Moon is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahweh; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 On the first day you shall have a Holy Convocation; you shall do no regular work on it,
(2) The Last Holy Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:
Leviticus 23:8—
8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day shall be a Holy Convocation; you shall do no regular work on it.
(3) The Day of Pentecost:
Leviticus 23:21—
And you shall proclaim on that same day that it may be a Holy Convocation to you; Shabuot; the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Firstfruits. You shall do no regular work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
(4) The Feast of Trumpets:
Leviticus 23:24-25—
24 Speak to the children of Israyl, saying; In the Seventh Moon, on the First of the Moon, you shall have a Sabbath, a Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets; The Feast of Trumpets, a Holy Convocation.
25 You shall do no regular work on it; but you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
(5) The Day of Atonement:
Leviticus 23:27—
Also the Tenth of this Seventh Moon is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a Holy Convocation for you. You shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
(6) The First Holy Day of The Feast of Tabernacles:
Leviticus 23:34-35—
34 Speak to the children of Israyl, saying; The Fifteenth Day of this Seventh Moon is the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days unto Yahweh.
35 On the first day there shall be a Holy Convocation; you shall do no regular work upon it;
(7) The Last Great Day:
Leviticus 23:36—
But for seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day you shall have a Holy Convocation; The Last Great Day, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is the Closing Gathering of Yahweh's Sacred Year, and you shall do no customary, regular work upon it.
