Peko PalAll About Thanksgiving
What is Thanksgiving, and how did it start? Page one covers how it became a national day, from Sarah Josepha Hale's letters to President Lincoln in 1863, and mentions that some Native people mark the day as a National Day of Mourning. Page two looks at the 1621 gathering at Plymouth: what the old letters say, what historians aren't sure about, and a note that Wampanoag people are still here today. Page three is an eight-question quiz with the answers printed upside down. Every fact was checked against museums, the National Archives and the National Park Service.
