Regarding that first Thanksgiving, the Indigenous Americans provided for the Pilgrims, not the other way around. And it certainly wasn’t their dear “God” in whom they placed their misguided trust.
The Pilgrims were a bunch of incompetent religious nerds, trying to go to Virginia, got lost and ended up in Massachusetts in November of 1620, just as the frigid New England winter was setting in. These incompetents had no idea how to survive and would have all died out if the Wampanoag Tribe had not helped them build shelters and showed them how to find local foods.
It was the Wampanoag Tribe that saved their sorry rear ends, not god.
If it had been left to god, there would have been nothing left of the Pilgrims but frozen carcasses.
So the Pilgrims thanked their imaginary, invisible, but very angry sky wizard, and “thanked” the Wampanoag by soon murdering them in genocidal slaughter.
