Going really original eh? Yes, the Native Americans did bring fish to the original party. What fish are you thinking of?

Re:Thanksgiving Day

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. According to tradition, the Pilgrims hosted a delegation of Wampanoag led by a chieftain Massasoit. The Wampanoag were but one of a multitude of distinctive nations already living in areas subjected to colonization that eventually became the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Although organized violence, epidemics and rampant discrimination often characterized interactions between European colonists and peoples whose ancestors arrived thousands of years earlier, the peaceful harvest festival that became the Thanksgiving prototype creates a much more benevolent model for understanding relationships between the two groups—even if its history is idealized and perhaps in significant parts pure fiction.
