After the first winter had passed, the Pilgrims met a group of Native American tribes who they then invited to a celebration on their health and well being. The Pilgrims gathered wild geese, ducks and other birds. The word turkey literally meant a wild fowl and only came to mean a type of bird years later. The great feast then lasted more than three days and when finished it was not celebrated again until three years later, and finally not again until the Council of Charlestown declared it a holiday in 1676. |
