Is this the holiday that white colonizers pretended to extend their good will while killiing indigenous Americans en masse.

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday (Canada has their version).
It began as a way of giving thanks during the harvest season, and wasn't set as a date until the mid 1800s. And yes, it did have a religious aspect, but non-specific as to denomination.
That is its root beyond the football games and trytophan comas--Gratitude, and a time to reflect. An attitude that is in seemingly short supply in the modern era.
I sincerely wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving this year.
