Why does the United States celebrate Thanksgiving in November if the real day was held in September?
Thanksgiving is observed on the fourth Thursday of November by law [55 Stat 862] of December 26, 1941. Its observance is regulated as a federal holiday. Before the law, the Proclamation of October 3, 1863 by 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865] started a traditional recognition of November as the month for Thanksgiving celebrations.
Until the Lincoln Proclamation, observation of a day of thanks wasn't uniform in the United States of America. It tended to be observed in New England. Even where it was observed, there was no uniformity in the choice of a date. The date in fact could range from October to January.

Who was the Wampanoag chief invited to the first Thanksgiving feast?
Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] was the Wampanoag chief who was invited to the first Thanksgiving celebrations by the Pilgrims in the New World. His name meant 'Great Sachem'. He was the leader of the Pokanoket Indians within the Wampanoag Confederacy. In that position, he negotiated a treaty of March 22, 1621 with the Pilgrims. The treaty guaranteed a friendly interaction between the Pilgrims and the Pokanoket in solidarity against the Narragansett Indians.
According to legend, Massassoit's features could be seen at Profile Rock in Assonet, Massachusetts. Additionally, he was the subject of famous statues at Plymouth Rock and at the Main Street-Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard intersections of Kansas City, Missouri; on the Brigham Young University campus; and outside the Utah State Capitol Building. In all four cases the artist was sculptor and Olympic archer Cyrus Edwin Dallin [November 22, 1861-November 14, 1944]. Dallin perhaps became most famous for his sculpting of the Angel Moroni to top the spire of the Salt Lake City Temple. He was to say of his masterpiece, 'My angel Moroni brought me nearer to God than anything I ever did'.
