Thanksgiving –
A True American Holiday
Thanksgiving is a true American holiday. It celebrates generosity
and gratitude, and it recognizes the relationships that helped colonists who
arrived on the Mayflower in 1620 survive beyond their first winter. History.com explained:1
“Only
half of the Mayflower’s original passengers and crew lived to see their first
New England spring. In March, the remaining settlers moved ashore, where they
received an astonishing visit from an Abenaki Indian who greeted them in
English. Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto,
a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain
and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland
on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by
malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees,
catch fish in the rivers, and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the
settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which would
endure for more than 50 years…”
