It is now over 400 years since the Pilgrims and Indians feasted together on the rough shores of Plymouth. In the centuries since, many misconceptions have arisen about both the Indians and the Puritans, and some parts of the story have been obscured until recent years.
Join historian Joyce Haworth as she tells the rich story of the events of 1621: the forces that encouraged the Pilgrims to leave home, the political calculations that the Indians made when the Pilgrims arrived, and the veiled agendas on both sides of the feasting table.
