  • Quick History of the First Thanksgiving in Canada
    Thanksgiving Quick history of the first Thanksgiving in Canada THANKSGIVING DINNER Spectator file photo The first European Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Newfoundland when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed there in 1578 Hamilton Spectator The first European Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Newfoundland when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed there in 1578 in his quest for the Northwest Passage. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival in the New World. This was 42 years before the Pilgrims landed in what is now Plymouth, Mass. Although many Thanksgiving holidays were subsequently celebrated, it was not declared a national holiday until 1879. From 1921 to 1931, Armistice Day (later renamed Remembrance Day) and Thanksgiving were marked on the same date. The two events were then separated, but the timing of Thanksgiving varied. In 1957, the second Monday of October was set as the consistent date for Thanksgiving Day in Canada. In 2012, Canadians consumed 142 million kilograms (312.4 million pounds) of turkey or 4.1 kilograms (nine pounds) per capita. About 35 per cent of all whole turkeys purchased in Canada in 2012 were for Thanksgiving, but 44 per cent were bought at Christmas. So What? Christian Applications The Old Testament Lev 7:12 „If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil. Lev 7:13 „Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering.

Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANK~GIVING MYTH - a study guide ­ Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANKSGIVING MYTH Summary: Native American people who first encountered the “pilgrims” at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts play a major role in the imagination of American people today. Contemporary celebrations of the Thanksgiving holiday focus on the idea that the “first Thanksgiving” was a friendly gathering of two disparate groups—or even neighbors—who shared a meal and lived harmoniously. In actuality, the assembly of these people had much more to do with political alliances, diplomacy, and an effort at rarely achieved, temporary peaceful coexistence. Although Native American people have always given thanks for the world around them, the Thanksgiving celebrated today is more a combination of Puritan religious practices and the European festival called Harvest Home, which then grew to encompass Native foods. The First People families, but a woman could inherit the position if there was no male heir. A sachem could be usurped by In 1620, the area from Narragansett Bay someone belonging to a sachem family who was able in eastern Rhode Island to the Atlantic Ocean in to garner the allegiance of enough people.

  • Myths of Thanksgiving Debunked
    Myths of Thanksgiving Debunked Myth #1: "The First Thanksgiving" occurred in 1621. Fact: No one knows when the "first" thanksgiving occurred. People have been giving thanks for as long as people have existed. Indigenous nations all over the world have celebrations of the harvest that come from very old traditions; for Native peoples, thanksgiving comes not once a year, but every day, for all the gifts of life. To refer to the harvest feast of 1621 as "The First Thanksgiving" disappears Indian peoples in the eyes of non-Native children. Myth #2: The people who came across the ocean on the Mayflower were called Pilgrims. Fact: The Plymouth settlers did not refer to themselves as "Pilgrims." Pilgrims are people who travel for religious reasons, such as Muslims who make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Most of those who arrived here from England were religious dissidents who had broken away from the Church of England. They called themselves "Saints"; others called them "Separatists." Some of the settlers were "Puritans," dissidents but not separatists who wanted to "purify" the Church. It wasn't until around the time of the American Revolution that the name "Pilgrims" came to be associated with the Plymouth settlers, and the "Pilgrims" became the symbol of American morality and Christian faith, fortitude, and family. (1) Myth #3: The colonists came seeking freedom of religion in a new land. Fact: The colonists were not just innocent refugees from religious persecution. By 1620, hundreds of Native people had already been to England and back, most as captives; so the Plymouth colonists knew full well that the land they were settling on was inhabited.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

  • The First Feast of Thanksgiving for a Bountiful Harvest Early Fall of 1621
    Today in Our History The First Feast of Thanksgiving for a Bountiful Harvest Early Fall of 1621 Giving thanks for the Creator’s gifts had always been a part of Wampanoag daily life. From ancient times, Native People of North America have held ceremonies to give thanks for harvests. In England, there were thanks-giving celebrations after successful crops also. The Separatists (our Pilgrim ancestors) celebrated by giving thanks as part of their religion. They had a very strong Christian faith and giving thanks was a daily, and most probably, a continuous expression of their gratitude for their blessings. Edward Winslow, who would hold several government positions at Plimoth Colony wrote of the planning and construction of their new plantation in Plimoth: “We set the last spring some twenty acres of Indian corn, and sowed some six acres of barley and pease; and according to the manner of the Indians, we manured our ground with herrings, or rather shads, which we have in great abundance.” In the post-harvest autumn of 1621, after a winter of sickness, death and the building of seven “dwelling” houses, the Pilgrims’ hard work and sacrifices were rewarded with a bountiful harvest. They gave thanks to God with prayer, feasting and firing their muskets. As many as ninety Wampanoag also joined in the celebration. Edward Winslow’s description of this great feast of thanksgiving, which was the first feast in the New World, was recorded in a Photo furnished by Plimoth Plantation letter to a friend of his in England in 1622: “Our harvest being gotten, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors.

  • Cybersecurity Cyberwise Tips
    May 11, 2021 | CyberWise – How to Create a Strong Password Recently, the State Department’s Directorate of Cyber and Technology Security released their guidance on creating strong passwords. Considering that most Federal and contract employees continue to work remotely, continued reliance on strong passwords for both business and personal accounts is very important. The most used passwords are extremely easy to guess and only take hackers a few seconds to crack. For example, “Admin1234” would only take 0.22 seconds to crack. By contrast, a memorable phrase such as “WherecanIfindagoodsandwich?” would take 771 years to crack with current brute force methods. How to stay CyberWise, according to the State Department: • When possible, use your PIV or multi-factor authentication. • Use different passwords for different accounts. If you are reusing a password on multiple accounts and a hacker cracks one of them, they may try the recovered passwords on your other accounts too. • Do not include personal identifiers like your phone number, name, child or pet’s name, or birth date, especially for those who were affected by the OPM breach in 2015 – this information is already on the Dark web. • Avoid selecting commonly used words (e.g., colors, fruits, animals, days) or phrases (e.g., “Password1234,” “DOSadmin1”). Password cracking tools include dictionary-based testing capabilities. • Do not use repetitive characters or patterns (e.g., “0000,” “1234,” “aaa,” or “7878”). • Consider using a unique passphrase that is easy to remember or picture in your mind, but difficult to guess. According to the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance, you should consider using the longest password or passphrase permissible.

  • Squanto and the First Thanksgiving
    Squanto and the First Thanksgiving Adapted from Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving, by Eric Metaxas Pre-reading Questions: When you first came to America, what were some things that were hard for you? In your culture, do you have a special day set aside for giving thanks? Definitions: to hunt – to find and kill a wild animal pilgrim – someone who travels a long way to visit a holy place slave – someone who is owned by another person Spain – a country in Europe thankful – feeling or showing happiness for some kind act Reading Squanto was a young, Indian boy. He lived a long time ago, before America became the United States. His family lived by the Atlantic Ocean. His father hunted turkeys for food. His mother cooked the food and made clothing. One day, Squanto saw a big ship on the ocean. Some of the men on the ship came to shore. They looked different. They wore different clothes, their skin was white, and they had hair on their faces. But they looked friendly. The men gave Squanto some food. When he reached out his hand to accept the food, the men grabbed him and hit him on the head. The bad men took Squanto across the ocean to Spain and sold him as a slave. A kind man bought Squanto to make him free. The man taught Squanto to read. He learned to read the Word of God and how to pray. Squanto was happy living with the kind man. But, he missed his family. The kind man helped Squanto return to his family.
