As Thanksgiving approaches, people all over town are Buying, cooking and baking delicious foods for the biggest feast of the year including pie, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, casseroles, and much much more. But the Thanksgiving food was not always this way.
Many years ago settlers took off to America, the home of the Wampanoag tribe. For thousands of generations the Wampanoag people fished, hunted, and harvest food. The ship carried 101 men, women, and children for 66 days. Many had failed to live during that period, but Winter was still approaching, so they set to hard work gathering supplies to keep them alive. Many grownups were sick, so it was mostly the kids who did this.
The Wampanoag people were life savoirs to the settlers. They taught the settlers the best ways to hunt, to grow crops, and where the best drinking places were. On 1621 they agreed to protect each other from other tribes.
The bond of friendship that was between the settlers and the Wampanoag people grew. A harvest celebration was to be held. Both the settlers and Wampanoag people harvested, hunted, and fished for days. The held the celebration on November 23. They ate not turky, but deer, corn, shellfish, and roasted meat. Many gave thanks for the rain that came after a two month long drought. But many other thanks were given.
