This is always a funny(not funny as in ha-ha) holiday for my family. I've got both Iroquois and Comanche relatives who show up every year. They get really morose when someone says in a prayer "Thank God for this land we have."
My aunt married an Inuit native american from the Northwest Territories in Canada and he refuses to acknowledge the holiday in the first place-rightly so. He understands that it has evolved away from a celebration of conquest and more into a family gathering, but it's the principle of the matter for him.
