Clams at the first Thanksgiving? Probably. One of the staples of coastal Indian and European settlements was clams.
Thanksgiving Day traditionally celebrates the arrival of the first pilgrims to America.
The first Thanksgiving usually refers to the pilgrims. They started the tradion in 1621. It refers to the huge feast the pilgrims had on that day.
Thanksgiving Day.
pilgrims
yes they did
On Plimoth plantation, in modern-day Plymouth, Massachusetts.
well..... one fact is that the day we celebrate thanksgiving on isn't really when the pilgrims celebrated it. theirs was probably closer to the harvest season, not winter. ;)
The Pilgrims perhaps, or the Pilgrims and the Indians thought of it together. In the first term of US President Lincoln, Thanksgiving Day was made a national holiday. This was the result of the lobbying efforts of Republican Protestants. Prior to Lincoln's action, Thanksgiving was celebrated as a Protestant festival day.
The Pilgrims landed in the future state of Massachusetts on December 1620. So they missed that year's harvest. Thanksgiving was an outgrowth of the widespread celebration of thanks for the harvest throughout many places and times. That celebration therefore was held the following year, in 1621.
The Pilgrims and the Indians were the creators of Thanksgiving Day.Some of the food items brought to the first Thanksgiving feast were: corn, venison, turkey, bread, potatoes, and milk.
days to feast
Yes; the native Americans brought venison for both parties, the pilgrims and themselves, to eat.
