Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in the fall in the Americas, where the blessings of the end of the harvest are given thanks. The traditional event, which coincides with the fourth Thursday of November in the USA, is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada.
The history of Thanksgiving dates back to a three-day harvest festival of Native American and English settlers of the Wampanoag tribe in the city of Plymouth.
Over time, the meanings attributed to this tradition have changed. Thanksgiving is considered a Day of Mourning among Native Americans.
