A Native American Thanksgiving Menu Guest: Freddie Bitsoie, Executive Chef, Mitsitam Native Foods Café at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian The only historical record we have an actual “First Thanksgiving” of any kind in 1621 involves the Pilgrims having a big party to celebrate their first successful harvest – shooting off guns and feasting for three days. And the Wampanoag Indians, who had a tenuous peace with the colonists, showed up to check out the commotion – maybe because the guns had them a little worried? They may have stuck around to see how things played out and cooked up a feast of their own. Some of those foods are likely on the menu at the Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
