From what point of view is the story being told?
third person narration
The story of a friendly feast between Native Americans and the Pilgrims where they showed thanks to each other is not true. It did not happen.
Instead, many of the Native American tribes that had lived in the area where the Pilgrims settled had already been killed off by Europeans through fighting or disease. The local tribes did not trust the Pilgrims, but some helped the Pilgrims by teaching them how to farm and fish.
The Pilgrims celebrated their harvest by shooting muskets and cannons. This alarmed the Wampanoag tribe members, who showed up to see what was happening.
They only joined the Pilgrims' celebration because they wanted to make sure that the Pilgrims were not going to attack them.
What is the main idea of this passage?
The story of a happy feast for Thanksgiving is untrue. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoags were not friends. The Wampanoag tribe showed up during the Pilgrims' celebration because they were scared when they heard gunfire.
