This story brings to life the historical moment in 1620 when the Mayflower arrived on the shores of what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Native American, Squanto, played a pivotal role in helping the English settlers, known as Pilgrims, survive their first harsh winter by teaching them essential survival skills such as how to plant crops like corn. With the help of Squanto and his people, the settlers were able to harvest a successful crop. This led to a feast that marked the first Thanksgiving, a tradition that endures to this day. The story captures the spirit of cooperation between two cultures, laying the foundation for what would become a lasting symbol of gratitude and unity.
