What really happened on that first Thanksgiving? Historian Dr. Robert Tracey McKenzie joins us for this special episode of Creating the Future to share the real story of the first thanksgiving in 1621 and what we can learn from it today.
A few of the things we discuss:

• Was the FIRST thanksgiving actually in 1621?
• Why did the Pilgrims come to the new world?
• What was their relationship with the native Americans?
• Who was Squanto and was he a divinely appointed answer to prayer?
• What food did they eat and games did they play on the 1st Thanksgiving?
