Both help readers reflect on the complexity of Europeans coming to America.
Explanation: The poem "Ellis Island" examines immigrant arrival and its mixed emotional and social effects, while "Thanksgiving: A Native American View" challenges the simple celebratory myth of European settlement and highlights its complicated, often harmful consequences for Native peoples. The other choices either misstate the primary focus (healing, emphasizing Native contributions, or simply eliciting pity).
