Exploring History: The Mayflower, Wampanoags, and the Origins of Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving draws closer, Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry welcome Kevin Doyle and Karen Rinaldo to the show. Kevin and Karen are the co-authors of “In the Wake of the Mayflower” which is the story about life after the Mayflower arrival from “The First Encounter” through the fifty years of peace that followed, and ending with King Philip’s War. The book also highlights the mutually dependent relationship between the Pilgrims and the indigenous Wampanoags that is documented in the painting by Rinaldo of The First Thanksgiving, 1621.  In this episode the group furthers the conversation by talking about issues of trade, how the use of wampum rose and fell and the different concepts of value that came into play during this time period. The discussion also focuses on the differences of how native Indian people, the Dutch, and the English viewed land ownership. The segment concludes with the concept of gratitude and thanksgiving.
