The First Thanksgiving

The first Thanksgiving started way before the actual day.
In the spring when the natives taught the Pilgrims their seeds.
When they showed them how to plant and cultivate new produce.
If it had not been for the natives, the Pilgrims would not have made it.
It is strange that the depictions show the Pilgrims helping the Indians.
When it was truthfully the other way around from the get-go.
