Present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts. A community of 52 English colonists, including women and children, attend a feast with 90 warriors from the Wampanoag tribe. The English are the survivors of the Pilgrim Fathers of the Mayflower, having survived a terrible winter and disappointing harvests. The Wampanoag Indians feed the colonists. A peace treaty is signed that will be respected for over half a century. Thus was born the holiday of Thanksgiving, to celebrate the wealth of America’s natural resources, but even more so, solidarity.
