∙ 12y agoThe first Thanksgiving was held by the pilgrims after their first winter. Many died, but not all. Indians taught them how grow foods and preserve foods that helped them survive. So they had a proclamation giving thanks to God and held a celebration, which included the Indians. The first Thanksgiving was all about thanking God for sustaining them despite the many hardships and losses they experienced.
