Ahead of the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, historian David J. Silverman will offer a transformative new look at the Plymouth colony’s founding events, told for the first time with the Wampanoag people at the heart of the story. Silverman will shed new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of the alliance between the Wampanoag tribe and the Plymouth settlers. The result complicates and deepens our current narrative of the first Thanksgiving, presenting us with a new narrative of our country’s origins for the twenty-first century. Discover why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning, rather than the traditional celebration, on Thanksgiving.
