The Pilgrims arrived in North America in 1620 and had a difficult first winter. The following year, they had a successful harvest with the help of the Native Americans. To celebrate their survival and new friendship with the Native Americans, the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared an autumn feast that is now known as the first Thanksgiving.
