Early history:
The history of Thanksgiving can take many forms depending on the context, but it is generally believed that Thanksgiving began as an independent meal among ancient American Indian and Anglo communities.

First thanks:
In 1621, the Pilgrims were warmly welcomed by Native American people, specifically a community they called the Wampanoag. Massasoit, the local tribal leader, proposed to him to organize a shared meal by sitting with members of his community.
Shared meal:
This shared meal was the beginning of the first celebration of Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. On this occasion, they tied the ornaments of their wealth and took an oath to share their wealth with each other, with a gesture of mutual understanding and cooperation.
Monetary Meaning:
The monetary meaning of Thanksgiving is ‘gratitude’ and ‘gratitude’ is exchanged in this festival. It is a festival of bonding, which proves the importance of shared food and mutual understanding.

It is an important part of a shared meal, laughter and a spirit of thanksgiving that gives us an opportunity to understand the social and cultural dynamics.
