This fascinating, informative and well-researched photo-essay about Thanksgiving is recounted from the Wampanoag perspective countering the prevailing traditional story of the historical event. Cranberries, potatoes, tall black hats with buckles never were part of the first Thanksgiving. Color photographs of the reenactment of the harvest gathering of 1621 that took place in October 2000 at the Plymouth Plantation, a living history museum of 17th century Plymouth, form the basis of this book to show the life styles and cultures of the Native Americans and the English colonists, and their shared history.
