Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story
Written by Danielle Greendeer (citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Nation), Anthony Perry (Chickasaw citizen) and Alexis Bunten (Yu'pik and Unangan) & illustrated by Garry Meeches Sr. (Anishinaabe)
The Thanksgiving story that most Americans know celebrates the Pilgrims. But without members of the Wampanoag tribe who already lived on the land where the Pilgrims settled, the Pilgrims would never have made it through their first winter. And without Weeâchumun (corn), the Native people wouldn't have helped.
An important picture book honoring both the history and tradition that surrounds the story of the first Thanksgiving. 32 pages
"A much-needed Thanksgiving retelling that centers the Wampanoag people." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review (Ages 3-7)
