The celebration of Thanksgiving falls in line with the English and Native American harvest festivals in 1621 and a myth about the American Thanksgiving began to form. A settler named Edward Winslow wrote a fictionalized account of a festival of three days between the Indians and a group of settlers of Plymouth. It included descriptions of camaraderie and shared food but left out the opportunity Aboriginal perspective.

A native guide and interpreter known as Massasoit was informed by the tribe of peers that English was shot and the use of their weapons. Although the translator could not be sure whether the settlers shooting game for dinner or start a war, he returned to the colony, with about 90 armed men. It seemed a cautious approach to new entrants.

As soon as Massasoit realized the shooting was only a hunting before harvest festival, he sent his own men in search of contributions and moved to share the meal. What is the true story of the first Thanksgiving tells us is mistrust between American natives and new settlers came early and well located.

Thanksgiving was very little to do with the Indians, and more to do with victories during the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Thank you that was traditionally because of the defeat in the battle around and sumptuous meals.
