Best Answer

In the following summer after the 'Pilgrim Fathers and their families had arrived in America in 1620, Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, and how to store food for the next winter. They held a celebration to thank God and the Native Americans that they were able to survive. (Previously, during the first winter many of the new arrivals died.)
