 Discovering Thanksgiving
Join Dancing Hawk, Sarah and their ancestors at www.plimoth.org
/education/olc/index_js2.html and travel to the 1621 Harvest Celebration—the first Thanksgiving. You’ll become a historian as you click and drag your way through Fact or Myth to get the Turkey Day scoop and read stories from witnesses present at the first feast. Check the glossary for help with unfamiliar words as you decode original text from the past. The path to 1621 was a long one, so before you sit down to your feast, get to know the colonists and the Wampanoag tribe and see how they gave thanks.
