The followingspring Indians taught them how to grow and showedthem how to hunt and fish. There was a good harvest in theautumn of 1621. The colonists had much to be thankful, so afeast was planned. The local Indians had been invited to takepart in. In the following years, many of the original colonistscelebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks.
