 Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving

Squanto. Courageous. Generous. Kind. His fate was to be separated from his tribe and family. His destiny was to save a nation. In 1620, when a British ship called the Mayflower arrived on the shore of what would be Plymouth, the settlers were not prepared for the struggles to come. Without the friendship of Squanto, who taught the newcomers the ways of the land and the animals, and how to survivie in this rugged place they now called home, the colony would not have survived. When autumn came, their hard work produced a bountiful harvest, and the two peoples came together to feast in the spirit of brotherhood--a feast we still celebrate today.

 Inspiring Animated Heroes: William Bradford, DVD

CBD Price: $8.99

A desire for religious freedom forces William Bradford to flee with the Pilgrims. His belief and conviction bring peace and the first Thanksgiving--a lesson in the value of belief. In 1620, John Carver, William Bradford, Captain Standish and 99 pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower toward America in search of religious freedom. As disease and storms hit, they are almost forced to return. William Bradford convinces Captain Standish to press on. The land they choose to build on becomes known as "Plymouth." Immediately, winter sets in and the pilgrims face the harsh effects of weather, hunger and disease. By spring, half of the pilgrims have died. Soon a lone Indian appears on the horizon. Against Captain Standish's wishes, John Carver and William Bradford befriend Samoset. Samoset sends the English-speaking Squanto and Chief Massasoit to the pilgrims, who make a peace pact. Squanto and Samoset live with the pilgrims and teach them how to live off the land. After the first successful crop, Bradford proposes a "feast of thanksgiving." Thus, William Bradford's belief leads him to become the father of Thanksgiving Day. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. Running Time: Approximately 45 minutes, Dolby Digital Stereo. Directed by Richard Rich, former Walt Disney Productions director.
