Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans gather for a day of feasting and spending time with the family. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would be unrecognizable to attendees from the original 1621 meal.
During the autumn of 1621, at least 90 Wampanoag joined 52 English people at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, to mark a successful harvest. It is remembered today as the “First Thanksgiving,” although no one back then used that term.
Thanksgiving continues to be a day for Americans to come together and give thanks for another year.
Navarre Newspaper wishes you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
