The Untold Bilingual Story of The First Thanksgiving: A Journey through American History (English/Spanish)

When we think of Thanksgiving, images of turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie usually come to mind. We gather around the table with family and friends, expressing gratitude for the blessings in our lives. However, have you ever wondered about the origins of this beloved holiday?

The story of the first Thanksgiving is a well-known tale. It is a time when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians came together in Plymouth, Massachusetts to celebrate a bountiful harvest in 1621. But what if we told you there's more to this story than meets the eye? What if we shared with you a bilingual account that delves deep into the intertwining histories of two cultures?

Picture this: The Mayflower, a ship filled with English Pilgrims, arrived on the shores of America after a long and treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. They sought religious freedom and a new life in the New World. As they settled in Plymouth, they encountered the Wampanoag Indians, the native inhabitants of the land.
