What Indian chief was at the First Thanksgiving?
Chief Massasoit, the leader of the Wamponoag village, attended the first Thanksgiving.That Thanksgiving was also attended by Samoset, who was the sagamore (secondary chief) of the Abenaki tribe, and Squanto. Squanto, also known as Tisquantum, was a Patuxet Indian who had been adopted into Massasoit's tribe after his own had been wiped out. Squanto was not a chief. However, he did assist the Pilgrims even though at one point he had been captured by the British and held as a slave.
Why did the pilgrams invite the Indians to a Thanksgiving feast?
'Thanksgiving' did not begin as a great loving relationship between the pilgrims and the Wampanoag, Pequot and Narragansett people. In fact, in October of 1621 when the 'pilgrim' survivors of their first winter in Turtle I sland sat down to share the first unofficial 'Thanksgiving' meal, the Indians who were there were not even invited! There was no turkey, squash, cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie. A few days before this alleged feast took place, a company of 'pilgrims' led by Miles Standish actively sought the head of a local Indian leader, and an 11 foot high wall was erected around the entire Plymouth settlement for the very purpose of keeping Indians out! Officially, the holiday we know as 'Thanksgiving' actually came into existence in the year 1637. Governor Winthrop of the Massachussetts Bay Colony proclaimed this first official day of Thanksgiving and feasting to celebrate the return of the colony's men who had arrived safely from what is now Mystic, Connecticut. They had gone there to participate in the massacre of over 700 Pequot men, women and children, and Mr. Winthrop decided to dedicate an official day of thanksgiving complete with a feast to 'give thanks' for their great 'victory'....
