You can even charm your guests with an authentic Wampanoag place setting (or two) at the table. (Who will be the lucky guest to use the setting?
)You also might want to teach a few choice Wampanoag words so your guests can entertain one another throughout the day!
Then, just enjoy observing how a new enthusiasm for Thanksgiving comes alive with the addition of historical reality.
All the cultural ideas, how-to’s, and resource suggestions you’ll need are found in The American Patriot’s Treasury of Historical Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas, Second Edition.
