Ten more days to Thanksgiving day!

This is one of the biggest
holidays in America!!!

It is also known
as "turkey day."



Give Thanks

To "give thanks" means
to be thankful for something!!

To be thankful means to
appreciate!

We give thanks to somebody,
usually God in America!


The first thanksgiving is
debated, but the first
traditional American one
was in 1619 in what is
now Virginia!



The settlers and natives
shared food together and
thanked God for all the
many gifts in their lives!

Less than three years later,
they would kill
each other for land!



The natives realized that
the settlers wanted to
take over and control
and not to trade!


*the settler(s): 入植者
the native(s): 先住民（ここでは、Native Americans)
share: 分け合う
realize: ～に気がつく、悟る
take over: 支配する、占領する
