A description of the first Thanksgiving of 1621 might have been reverses of each other in Native American and Pilgrim history books. The Pilgrims would have written about the different appearance, attire, attitudes, behavior, customs, foods, and preferences of their Indian guests. The Native American book would have focused on the same things about their Pilgrim hosts.
The Native American tribe that attended the first Thanksgiving was the Wampanoag Indians (pronouced Wamp-O-nogg) according to the 6th Grade New World History and Geography Book (published by Beka Books History Series).
Some did, so you have that idea wrong. It is just that American history books doesn't cover Native American history entirely and only gives the student bits and pieces. This reflects some the of European view of history and delegates Native Americans into second class citizens. A good example of this is the story of the Jamestown colony. When the settlers arrived in the New World there was more than 14,000 Native Americans in an empire called Tsenacomoco. The chief of the empire was Powhatan and it covered 8,000 square miles. His sphere of influence stretched from the Potomac to Cape Henry ( find a map to see this empire). This is just one example of Native American history that has been ignored or changed. There are several books you can read that will give you a better feel for this history. Get Black Elk Speaks,Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, and learn about how Red Cloud governed his people. There is also a bit of history that is never mentioned and that is the largest mass hanging in US history in 1861 at Ft. Laramie and it had to do with what happened to the Dakota Sioux.
Today the tribes located in this area are known as the Delware. When the Dutch settled the area they saw the Native Americans living there as possible slaves. They treated them poorly and killed them as well as taking the land. The European view of land ownership was opposite to the Native Americans. The Native American view is that there can't be landownership and that they had a duty to be caretakers of the land. Essentially the two views kept the European settlers from treating the Delware with respect and this affected the relationship between the two groups, so very little trading was done. These were a peaceful farming community when the European settlers arrived with disease, guns, and stealing their lands. The first reservation was located in New Jersey by the 1700's. The idea presented in some history books that Native Americans were happy to see the European settlers or they were violent people is not the truth. The truth is that Native Americans were killed and lands stolen until they were all on reservations by the mid 1800's.
