As a peacemaker, William Bradford befriended the Native Americans, who taught the struggling Pilgrims how to survive. By the end of the first year, William Bradford became Governor of the new land. After their first critical harvest, he set aside time for the Pilgrims and their new Native American friends to feast together and to express thanks to God. Soon a lone Indian appears on the horizon.  Against Captain Standish’s wishes, John Carver and William Bradford befriend Samoset of the Wampanoag tribe.  Samoset sends the English-speaking Squanto and Chief Massasoit to the pilgrims who make a peace pact.  Chief Massasoit offers gifts to seal the deal.Squanto and Samoset live with the pilgrims and teach them how to live off the land.  As John Carver falls ill, he makes Bradford Governor of Plymouth.  After the first successful crop, Bradford proposes a “Feast of thanksgiving” to honor God and thank him for his many gifts.Background:Religious freedom today is one of our country’s founding principles, but imagine the 1600’s when people were forced to practice the religion of their King.  It’s no wonder they began to look to America for a better way of life.  William Bradford was able to be with a group of “pilgrims” as they set sail to America in search of religious and governmental freedom.Upon establishing the Plymouth colony, the pilgrims were rewarded with disease, starvation and harsh weather conditions.  They did get their freedom, but paid the price to get it.  William Bradford was a strong force in helping the colony succeed.As we celebrate our own Thanksgiving feasts today, with the help of grocery stores, ovens, microwaves and dishwashers, it’s hard to imagine how different the life of the pilgrims had been.  William Bradford symbolizes a time of struggle, oppression and heroism as he helped the Plymouth colony survive.BONUS Resource & Activity BooksEach interactive DVD includes a 48-page Resource & Activity Book full of skill-developing activities, word games, puzzles, coloring pages, and more!
