Who were the first people to celebrate Thanksgiving and when?

Answer 1

The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. This feast lasted three days, and as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow it was attended by 90 Native Americans (who provided most of the meat: five freshly killed deer) and 53 Pilgrims. The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings", days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought (not feasts).

In later years problems arose between the Pilgrims and Native Americans.
