One frosty fall morning, a long time ago, a large boat with white sails approached the shore.  Seagull called, "New people are coming!"

Every American child learns about the first Thanksgiving. But Thanksgiving didn't happen the way most children are taught.  How is the story different when told from a Native perspective?

Four hundred years ago, Weeachumun, the wise corn, her sisters, Beans and Squash; and the woodland animals made the newcomers' (Pilgrims') first harvest and their survival possible.

Four Native American creators weave together a story in words and pictures about a modern-day Wampanoag family and Weeachumun's tale about Keepunumuk, the time of harvest.
