First, why were the Pilgrims giving thanks? After the Plymouth colonists settled in Massachusetts the first dreadful winter had killed about half of the colonists. But new hope arose in the summer of 1621. The settlers expected a good corn harvest, despite poor crops of peas, wheat, and barley. You see, the Indians had taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn, and had provided them with seed. Thus, in early autumn, at the urging of the governor, the Pilgrims arranged a harvest festival to give thanks to God for the progress the colony had made. And, the friendly Indians were invited. That begs the second question, who were these friendly Indians? They were the Wampanoag. Their leader was Massasoit (born about 1580? - died 1661), Native American chief of the Wampanoag who governed the greater part of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Shortly after the arrival of the Pilgrims in America, Massasoit and Governor John Carver of Plymouth Colony signed the earliest recorded treaty in New England. The treaty established a mutual peace between Massasoit's people and the Pilgrims. In 1621 the Pilgrims invited Massasoit and some of his people to the first celebration of Thanksgiving Day. About 90 Indians attended the festival, which lasted three days. The men of Plymouth Colony had shot ducks, geese, and turkeys. The menu also included clams, eel and other fish, wild plums and leeks, cornbread, and watercress. The women of the settlement cooked over outdoor fires. The Indians brought five deer to add to the feast. Similar harvest Thanksgivings were held in Plymouth during the next several years. > To help them against their enemies.

Yes, the Pilgrims did honor their treaty with the Wampanoag and helped the Wampanoag defeat their longstanding enemy, the Pequot. -- Best regards, Sam Gillett Change is inevitable, except from vending machines!
