2. The First Thanksgiving
Throughlines:
• There are particular people who made a difference in our country’s history. One person’s actions can make a big difference.
• Throughout history, people have often disagreed about religion and how to live a good life, and who or what to honor/worship above all else.
• People migrate with hopes of a better life – something about their life was difficult, and caused them to want to leave for a better place.
• Some people who migrate suffer – it is difficult – deciding, preparing, embarking, etc. The actual journey of migration can be hard.
• Searching for peaceful solutions and compromise can solve conflicts.
• After hard work, a “harvest” is a time to celebrate.
• Sharing celebrations can bring people together and create bonds, and can show mutual appreciation.
• When cultures come together, there can be conflict, or people can respect and help each other.
• Different people (or cultures or groups of people) celebrate in different ways.
One holiday can be celebrated in different ways by different groups – but with the same intent.
