Fall really is my favorite season! In order to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving I felt like sharing the all famous tell of the first original Thanksgiving with the indigenous people of America...
The Pilgrims that came here from the Old World had no skills to survive on their own in this New World. The ground was rocky and wouldn't grow what the Pilgrims had brought with them for food. Unfortunately by the time the indigenous peoples came to greet the "new comers" half of the Pilgrims had died during the winter. The indigenous people, called the Wampanoag's, were a giving and kind people. They could see that these now comers needed help. So, they went back to their village and put together enough food storage to help the Pilgrims survive. The Wampanoag's also offered skills like how to make sturdy huts, cultivating the vegetables, and how to catch the spring time fish. The Pilgrims did well with learning the new skills that the Wampanoag people had taught them, and by the time fall came around the Pilgrims were very well prepared for the coming winter. They were so grateful for what the Indians had done for them, for now they could flourish in this New World.
