=The wampanoag tribe brought many foods to the first Thanksgiving. Wild turkey, venison, rabbit, lobster, potatoes, fish, and clams were some of the main ones. They also brought corn, beans and squash, which the native americans called the "Three Sisters". This name was given to them because they were able to grow on the same patch of land and were compatible together. The pilgrims contributed their first harvested crop, which was corn, to the festivities.=
