Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story
Vendor: Cape Ann Museum Store
Written by Danielle Greendeer, Anthony Perry, and Alexis Bunten; Illustrated by Gary Meeches Sr.
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. In this Wampanoag story told in a Native tradition, two kids from the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe learn the story of Weeâchumun (corn) and the first Thanksgiving.
