Around this time of year, it’s fun to talk about the pilgrims and what they ate for their first Thanksgiving meal. Native American Indians were the ones who showed the pilgrims the best kinds of food to eat in America.
Native Americans were kind and very resourceful. They knew where to find and plant the best foods so they could feed their families all year long!
