Answer 2

There is no such thing as Thanksgiving in Panama. It's just not a part of Panama's history. The Indians from North America didn't help the whites from Europe find food in Panama. If that was the case Panama would be called America. Just because The USA celebrates a holiday, it doesn't mean every country celebrates that holiday.
