About this listen

In this opening episode of my Thanksgiving series, I use my background as a former history teacher to take listeners beyond the familiar textbook version of the holiday and into the deeper historical realities that shaped it. I explore the context of the 1621 gathering, the complex relationship between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag, and the ways early American thanksgivings were shaped by hardship, faith, and survival. This episode lays the foundation for the rest of the series by asking what it really means to give thanks, both historically and spiritually, and how the early expressions of gratitude in America still speak to us today.
