On his return home Squanto had realized his village was deserted and left with skeletons. The neighboring tribe of Wampanoag took Squanto in and treated him as their own.

As year went on neighboring Pilgrims grew weaker and couldn’t survive much longer. Luckily, Wampanoag came to rescue. The Wampanoag brought food hospitality towards people. Since Squanto spoke English he could easily communicate with Pilgrims and show them how to grow crops and survive off land. The two groups then spent three days together talking about land and eating food.

As years passed, more Pilgrims came and forgot about friendly Natives. They stole land, tortured and enslaved Wampanoag while rest were left foodless and with disease.

For many, Thanksgiving is a time for rejoice and thankfulness for what our ancestors had endured during early years, but for Wampanoag it is a time left hard to forget.

Thanksgiving is also a day to say thanks to those who have died for us long ago, be it a relative who died helping our ancestors cross Atlantic or a soldier that was lost in American Revolution.

We must say thanks to those who have given us a chance to be somebody and spend our time with our friends and family to show them our love and care as we once did.
