The First Thanksgiving 1 YOU ARE THERE: THE FIRST THANKSGIVING [Music Under] WOMAN: Thanksgiving gives us pause, a time to be thankful for what we have. CHILD: Thanksgiving is a day off from school, and everybody eats a lot. MAN: Thanksgiving is a day to rest up for the shopping season that starts the very next day for me. I’m very thankful for the holidays and all those shoppers! ANOTHER MAN: When you are carving the turkey, you look around the table and all you really have to do is enjoy. ANOTHER WOMAN: There’s something more going on at Thanksgiving than just stuffing ourselves. NATIVE AMERICAN: Thanksgiving to my people, the Wampanoag people, is the beginning and ending of our culture. {Renaissance music under] ANNOUNCER: Texas, 1541. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado holds a thanksgiving service when food and water are discovered for his exhausted men. CORONADO: Damos gracias a nuestro señor en el cielo SOLDIERS: Amén. Comamos! ANNOUNCER: Virginia, 1619. Settlers from Gloucester, England fall to their knees in thanks when they put ashore at Berkeley Plantation. SETTLERS: God save the King! ANNOUNCER: Either of these celebrations could have been called the first Thanksgiving, but as any school child can tell you, Texas does not get that honor, nor does Virginia. Join us as we travel back in time to that First Thanksgiving in Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts late in the month of October. But we celebrate Thanskgiving in November, you might say. True, because Abraham Lincoln chose the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving when he declared it a national holiday in 1863. This, you will soon discover, is just one of many confusing facts and downright fictions that surround Thanksgiving. But first, a word from our sponsors. 2 INSERT COMMERCIALS [A] ANNOUNCER: Enduring hardships, sickness, and death, the Pilgrims—these refugees for religious and civil rights, outlaws from the Church of England, ragtag sailors, fledgling farmers—driven back from their destination in Northern Virginia by icy cold winds and rough wintry seas to the shores of Massachusetts are marking the first anniversary of their survival, yes survival, for they are half their number now after one year ashore in the New World. ECHO VOICE: Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts, October 1621. You are there! ANNOUNCER: Three days of celebrating and giving thanks as the Pilgrims reap the benefits of their first harvest of corn, squash, and beans. They have ventured into the woods to shoot turkey and wild fowl that they will prepare to grace their wooden trestle tables. We take you back to the first Thanksgiving. All things are as they were then, except for one thing: ECHO VOICE: You are there! ANNOUNCER: “You Are There” is based on authentic historical fact and quotations. ECHO VOICE: And now Plimoth Plantation, October 1621. The Pilgrim’s tiny village and our reporters wandering through the makeshift town square. [Village sounds, voices, things being set up] RADIO MAN #1: The smiles on adult faces and the playfulness of their children here in Plimoth are in stark contrast to just over one year ago. RADIO WOMAN #1: In August 1620, a group of 120 men, women, and children—their pejorative name was “Brownist” in England— OLD MAN: We left that name back with all the idolaters and popish Anglicans. RADIO WOMAN #1: Do you want to tell our listeners about the voyage? OLD MAN: We embarked from Southampton in two ships— RADIO WOMEN #1: Not just The Mayflower? OLD MAN: The Mayflower and The Speedwell. Both ships seemed to be held together with spit and prayers. The Speedwell was so old that it had fought against the Spanish Armada— RADIO WOMAN #1: --in 1588. 3 OLD MAN: Now, if your plan before God and man is to continue interrupting me, I shall hold my tongue. RADIO WOMAN #1: So sorry. Please go on. OLD MAN: Go on? I built this bench where I now sitteth, and I shall not be going on anywhere a-tall. RADIO WOMAN #1: Continue, please, Sir. OLD MAN: Well, now, right away The Speedwell started taking on water, so we headed back to port, fixed that and headed out again, but the ship’s mast had been botched in repair, and we headed back to Cornwall this time. We moved everything we could from The Speedwell to The Mayflower—except for a score of our fellow believers who agreed to stay behind and join us within the year. So, 102 of us sailed on The Mayflower in September, about a fortnight before Michaelmas. RADIO WOMAN #1: [whispering] For our listeners, a score equals twenty, a fortnight means two weeks, and Michaelmas is September 29. OLD MAN: Our leaders did not put much faith in our claim to land on this side of the world, so we drew up an agreement and signed it. RADIO WOMAN #1: This is known as The Mayflower Compact. OLD MAN: What is not known is that many of us who signed it very soon began to die of scurvy and other strange new diseases sent by the devil to weaken our resolve. OLD WOMAN: Few of us were spared. The Saints--those are the members of our congregation; The Strangers—those who came with us looking for a better life; and the Crew—the officers and working men on the ship. All three groups suffered terribly. God’s wrath knows no bounds. May he have mercy on all of us. [Bustling sounds, perhaps sound of ocean waves.] RADIO MAN #1: The survivors settled in this area where I am standing now. Plimouth already had been named by previous explorers, and it offered the Pilgrims land for planting crops, a harbor for ships, and a river for fresh water. Native Americans already had been living in North America for thousands of years before these settlers from England arrived. The Native Americans were not surprised to see these new visitors since European explorers, hunters, and fishermen had been here before. TRANSLATOR VOICE: [with indistinct Native American speech under] We saw families with women and children come off their ship. We hoped they had come 4 in peace. We did not mingle with them for they seemed to keep distant from our tribe. The white man made a treaty with my people, the Wampanoag people. We would trade for furs, food, and tools. NARRATOR ECHO VOICE: You Are There will return after these messages from our sponsors. INSERT COMMERCIALS [B] NARRATOR’S ECHO VOICE: And now, we return to You Are There! RADIO WOMAN #1: I’m standing here with the very impressive and colorfully painted Samoset, the first Native American to actually speak to the Pilgrims. I am so pleased to meet you. SAMOSET: [deep voice, perfect English] The pleasure is mine, gentle lady. RADIO WOMAN #1: Ouuu [sighs]. He just kissed my hand. SAMOSET: I know of the white man’s customs. RADIO WOMAN #1: I can see that. Please tell our listeners at home what it was like that March 16th in 1621when you walked into the village, passing by the fortifications the Pilgrims had built and apparently unafraid of the cannons they had placed for protection just behind the fortifications. SAMOSET: Fortifications? Walls might be a truer description. I strode into their settlement. Some of the white men grabbed their rifles and pointed them at me. I carried a bow and two arrows. I opened my mouth to speak to them and waited a moment. Then I said to them in English, “Welcome to this land. Have you any beer to share with me?” RADIO WOMAN #1: Are you of the Wampanoag people? The local natives? SAMOSET: I am of the Wampanoag people, but I live with my people north of here in Morattiggon or in the land the white man calls Maine. I told the settlers that where they live is known by my people as Patuxet and four years before all those who lived here perished from the same unknown sickness. I warned them that my people would not again be tricked by the cruelest of the white men who took twenty of another tribe and sold them for slaves. RADIO WOMAN #1: Did they give you some beer? SAMOSET: Alas, no. But they shared food and water with me. I stayed with them over one night, and on the morning of my departure from them, they gave to me a 5 knife, a bracelet, and a ring. I told them I would send another with speed. He had lived in European lands and spoke English more than I can. RADIO WOMAN #1: [Still gushing] Your English is better than the English of many of my countrymen. [Noise like a swoooosh!] RADIO MAN #1: I’m standing here with Squanto— SQUANTO: [Perfect English with a light British accent] Tisquantum, actually. RADIO MAN #1: You say potato and I say potahto. By any name, he’s the famous emissary between the Pilgrims and Native Americans and the last survivor of the Patuxet tribe, whose plague-ravaged land the Pilgrims raided for food during their first winter in the new world. That same land the Pilgrims now call Plimouth. Can you tell our listeners at home about your first meeting with the Pilgrims? SQUANTO: I arrived with sixty armed Wampanoag and their chief. The white men grabbed their muskets and ran behind walls they had built--built badly, actually— and waited for us to attack. No one dared make the first move. Finally, I stepped in and arranged for Massasoit, the Wampanoag chief to meet with the leader of the white men. With generous amounts of liquor, the two sides set about the business of peace.

  • THE PILGRIMS – a Sermon in 3 Parts
    THE PILGRIMS – A Telling in 3 Parts Rev. Gregory Flint Thanksgiving Sunday, November 22, 2009 Psalm 100 Part I: “The Calling and Voyage” In September, 1620, a little ship called the Mayflower sailed out of Plymouth, England. There were one hundred two passengers on board – men, women, children – calling themselves, Pilgrims. Well, one hundred four if you count the two Pilgrim dogs – a spaniel and a mastiff. The ship’s crew numbered 20 under the command of Master Christopher Jones. The Mayflower, no Queen Mary, was barely one hundred feet long. The passengers were literally crammed in the “tween deck,” which was little more than a crawlspace between the cargo hold and the upper deck. A second ship, called the Speedwell, had also begun the voyage. But the Speedwell was an ill-named vessel, slow and leaky. After turning back twice for repairs, most of the Speedwell’s passengers abandoned the voyage, and others squeezed onto the Mayflower, which sailed out of Plymouth solo. It was a high-risk journey. A year earlier another group of Pilgrims had tried the voyage. Before the ship turned back, 130 of the 180 passengers died. And in the previous two years at the Jamestown settlement in Virginia, 3000 of the 3600 settlers had died. So who were they – this intrepid band aboard the Mayflower? What mattered enough to leave everything behind and risk this voyage? What was the Pilgrim passion and quest? They were known as “Separatists.” They worshiped in clandestine, illegal gatherings. For the Pilgrims wanted to be free of state church mandated liturgy, the doctrine of bishops, and the religious whims of kings.

  • Mayflower Story.Pdf
    OFFICIAL Mayflower Story The Mayflower set sail on 16th September 1620 from Plymouth, UK, to voyage to America, known to English explorers at the time as the New World. But its history and story start long before that. Its passengers were in search of a new life. They would go on to be known as the Pilgrims influencing the future of the United States of America in ways they could never have imagined. This story isn't just about the Mayflower's passengers though. It's about the people who already lived in America such as the Wampanoag tribe and the enormous effect the arrival of these colonists would have on Native Americans and the land they had called home for centuries. The Passengers More than 30 million people, including many celebrities, can trace their ancestry to the 102 passengers and approximately 30 crew aboard the Mayflower when it landed in Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, in the harsh winter of 1620. On board were men, women and children from different walks of life across England and the city of Leiden, Holland. A significant number were known as Separatists - people who mostly wanted to live free from the current Church of England, under the ruling of Henry VIII, which dictated all aspects of life and to dispute that rule was a path ending in prosecution. Others were on the ship anticipating the chance to build a better future, the opportunity of new land and the offer of freedom and adventure. The passengers are often grouped into ‘Saints’ or ‘Strangers’ by historians, alluding to their motivations for the journey.

  • 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.

  • Reading Passage & Questions
    mayflower Reading Passage & Questions © Think Tank 2020 mayflower The Mayflower was the name of the ship that carried the Pilgrims in 1620. They sailed from England to the New World. The Mayflower voyage occurred because the Pilgrims wanted the freedom to practice their religion without interference in England. The people on the voyage who just wanted a new start in li fe were known as Strangers. To pay for their journey, the Pilgrims promised to send back goods for seven years after landing in North America. Passengers who were Protestant Separatists were called the “Saints.” Separatists were trying to flee religious persecution from King James of England. Other passengers were called “Pilgrims.” The Separatists were in search of a new settlement in the New World. Their trip was approved by the King of England. The Mayflower had three levels: the main deck, the cargo hold and the gun deck. The Mayflower was a merchant ship that transported goods such as wine, cloth, wood and salt to and from di fferent ports in Europe. Due to the fact that it was a merchant ship, it was not designed to navigate the winds and waters of the North Atlantic. Historians estimate that the ship was roughly twelve years old when it made the voyage to the New World. Sailing alongside the Mayflower was another vessel named the Speedwell. The Mayflower and Speedwell turned back twice due to leaks and complications. Eventually the leaky Speedwell was left behind. The Mayflower left Plymouth, England on September 6, 1620 to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Plymouth Colony
    Name: ____________________________________________ Date: _______________________ Plymouth Colony Overview: Plymouth Colony was an English colony from 1620-1691. It is also known as New Plymouth or Plymouth Bay Colony. It was one of the earliest successful colonies in North America and took part in the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Origins of Colonists: The original group of settlers were known as separatists because they had gone against the King of England and the Anglican Church. The group was under religious persecution to leave England. In 1619 they obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company to let them settle a colony in North America. In 1620 the colonists left for America on the ships Mayflower and Speedwell. Leaving: The two ships left South Hampton England on August 15th, 1620. The Mayflower had 90 passengers and the Speedwell had 30 passengers. The Speedwell had immediate problems and had to go back. The Mayflower returned and it finally left for America with 102 passengers on September 16th, 1620. Voyage: The voyage from England to America at these times would typically take 2 months. In the first month the Mayflower had smooth sailing. In the second month they were hit by a strong winter storm which killed two of the passengers. Arrival: The Mayflower first arrived at Provincetown Harbor on November 11th, 1620. The following day Susanna White gave birth to Peregrine White who was the first child born to a pilgrim in the New World. While exploring the area they ran into a Native American tribe and went looking for another area. The ship soon came across an area they agreed to settle.
