The Pilgrims were English people who left on the Mayflower in 1620 to start a new life in America. They arrived in Plymouth after a difficult journey. Life was hard and their crops failed, leaving them starving. The native Wampanoag tribe, including Squanto, helped the Pilgrims by giving them food and teaching them survival skills. The next harvest was successful, so the Pilgrims held a feast to thank the natives, establishing the Thanksgiving tradition still celebrated today in America.
