Slide12: 

Today we will relive the Pilgrims' first year in America, and learn how the Wampanoag helped them survive in the New World. Now let’s start the timeline…

Slide13: 

The story of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag begins before the Thanksgiving feast. PHOTOS BY Russ Kendell

September–November 1620: The Mayflower Voyage : 

September–November 1620: The Mayflower Voyage The Pilgrims left Plymouth Harbor in England on a ship called the Mayflower and headed towards America.

Slide15: 

They sought religious freedom there to worship the way they wanted. They did not have this right in England because their government had restricted their choice of religious beliefs. That is why they asked for permission to settle in America.

Slide16: 

Their voyage was difficult, but miraculously only one of the 102 passengers died.

November 1620–February 1621: The First Days of Plymouth: 

November 1620–February 1621: The First Days of Plymouth The Mayflower's destination was northern Virginia, but the ship was thrown off course by a storm. Images by Dr. Mike Haywood (used with permission)

Did you know?: 

Did you know? During this storm John Howland fell overboard. Luckily he survived and arrived safely in New England.

Did you know?: 

Did you know? Elizabeth Hopkins and her husband travelled on the Mayflower. While at sea, Elizabeth gave birth to their son Oceanus.

November 1620–February 1621: The First Days of Plymouth: 

November 1620–February 1621: The First Days of Plymouth On December 11th the Mayflower landed at Plymouth and the settlers decided to stay.

Slide21: 

The Pilgrims' first winter was very difficult. When it started to snow, they had not yet built enough houses.

Slide22: 

Therefore, many Pilgrims sought shelter aboard the Mayflower.

Slide23: 

They all suffered from the bitter cold and lack of food. Unfortunately, only half of them survived.

Slide24: 

However, when the Mayflower sailed back to England in April, all of the Pilgrims chose to stay in America.

Did you know?: 

Did you know? Priscilla Mullins travelled on the Mayflower with her parents, her brother, Joseph, and a servant, Robert Carter — all of whom died during the first winter in Plymouth.

Slide26: 

During all this time however, the Pilgrims were not alone. A group of people called the Wampanoag were already living in the Plymouth area.

March 1621: The Pilgrims & the Wampanoag Meet: 

March 1621: The Pilgrims andamp; the Wampanoag Meet

Slide28: 

One day a Native American named Samoset walked into the Plymouth colony and said 'Welcome Englishmen'. This really surprised them.

Slide29: 

He had learned some English from some European fishermen. He introduced the Pilgrims to the Wampanoag leader Chief Massasoit and another Indian named Squanto.

Slide30: 

Squanto also spoke English and acted as their guide and interpreter. The two groups so as to avoid any conflict exchanged gifts and signed the 'Treaty of Friendship'.

During this time the Wampanoag shared their knowledge of hunting, fishing and farming with the Pilgrims. :

After 1621 :

Slide60: 

After Chief Massasoit's death, the Wampanoag joined other tribes and tried to eliminate settlers. As a result of this war the Wampanoag were nearly exterminated.

Slide61: 

The colony gradually grew in size, and the original settlement known as the Plymouth Plantation expanded as settlers built more houses in the area. By 1691 its population exceeded 7,000.

Slide62: 

Sadly however, only a small number of Wampanoag still live in this area today. 'Thanksgiving' – by Alan Gordon

Common Thanksgiving Myths PSYCHICO COLLEGE CHANNEL presents

James W. Baker says:: 

James W. Baker says: 'Thanksgiving is an invented tradition, and that’s why we have so many myths about it. It doesn’t originate from one event, but it is a mix of several minor festivities, which all blend in to one big festival!'

Myth: The first Thanksgiving festival was in 1621 and the Pilgrims celebrated it every year thereafter.: 

Myth: The first Thanksgiving festival was in 1621 and the Pilgrims celebrated it every year thereafter. Fact:The first feast wasn't repeated, so it wasn't the beginning of a tradition. In fact, the colonists didn't even call the day Thanksgiving.

Myth: The original thanksgiving feast took place on the fourth Thursday of November.: 

Myth: The original thanksgiving feast took place on the fourth Thursday of November. Fact:The first feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September and November. Unlike our modern holiday, it was three days long.

Myth: The Pilgrims wore only black and white clothing. They had buckles on their hats, garments, and shoes.: 

Myth: The Pilgrims wore only black and white clothing. They had buckles on their hats, garments, and shoes. Fact: Buckles did not come into fashion until later in the seventeenth century and black and white were commonly worn only on Sunday and on formal occasions.

Myth: The Pilgrims brought furniture with them on the Mayflower. : 

Myth: The Pilgrims brought furniture with them on the Mayflower. Fact: The Pilgrims only brought chests and boxes with them on the Mayflower. Other furniture, either beds or tables, would have been thoroughly impractical on board. They made that kind of furniture once they settled in Plymouth.

Myth: The Mayflower was heading to Virginia, but due to a navigational mistake it ended up in Cape Cod Massachusetts. : 

Myth: The Mayflower was heading to Virginia, but due to a navigational mistake it ended up in Cape Cod Massachusetts. Fact: The Pilgrims were actually planning to settle in Virginia, but not the modern-day state of Virginia.
