Frequently asked
Who were the Pilgrims and why did they come to America?
The Pilgrims were English colonists who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, seeking religious freedom and a chance to start fresh. They left England because they disagreed with the Church of England's practices. After stopping in Holland, they decided to establish their own settlement in North America, creating Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts.
Which Native American tribes helped the Pilgrims survive?
The Wampanoag nation, led by Chief Massasoit, played the crucial role in the Pilgrims' survival. Tribal members like Squanto taught the colonists how to plant corn, catch fish, and gather native foods. Without this generous help and knowledge, the Pilgrims would likely not have survived their first harsh winter in New England.
What did the Pilgrims and Native Americans eat at their first harvest celebration?
Unlike today's Thanksgiving, historians believe the first harvest celebration in fall 1621 featured wildfowl (possibly ducks or geese, not turkey), deer, corn, squash, and shellfish. They also likely enjoyed nuts, berries, and beans. The feast lasted three days and celebrated a successful harvest thanks to the Wampanoag's invaluable farming guidance.
