They made their homes along the coast and in the forests. Interaction with European settlers - Pilgrims and Thanksgiving - The Wampanoag met the Pilgrims in the 1600s when they first came to America. They became friends and helped each other out. This led to the first Thanksgiving in 1621, where they all celebrated and had a big feast together. It was a really important time in American history. Survival and resilience of the Wampanoag people - Even though the Wampanoag faced many tough times like sickness and losing their land, they never gave up. They stayed strong and kept their traditions alive. Today, they still stick together as a community and hold onto their special culture and identity.
