ALL GROUPS - THANKSGIVING

Yesterday (28th Nov.) Thanksgiving was celebrated in America. The first Thanksgiving took place in the autumn of 1621, when a group of English colonists (pilgrims) held a feast with the Wampanoag Indians to celebrate their colony´s first successful harvest. To know more about this American tradition you can visit this site, where you can read texts about this celebration while you listen to them. There´s also a slideshow about the first Thanksgiving and a tour of the Mayflower, the ship that took the pilgrims to America.
