Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story

In this Wampanoag story told in a Native tradition, two kids from the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe learn the story of Weeâchumun (corn) and the first Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving story most Americans know celebrates the Pilgrims, but the Wampanoag tribe played a crucial role by aiding the Pilgrims through their first winter with the help of Weeâchumun (corn). This picture book, created by four Indigenous creators, provides a perspective of the first Thanksgiving from a Native American viewpoint, reshaping the traditional story and prompting a reevaluation of how the United States views its history.
