What does Thanksgiving mean to you, and how do you celebrate it? Is it a day to spend time with family and friends? Is it a time to eat lots of delicious food? Is it a time to be thankful for the positive things in your life? As you can see, this holiday can mean different things to different people. For Native Americans today, answering the questions above is not so simple. Join an IAIS Educator to discuss the myths and misconceptions surrounding this holiday. From documents written at that time and from Wampanoag oral histories, you will find the history of Thanksgiving is more surprising than you might think.
