Nickommoh


A Thanksgiving book by Jackie French Koller and illustrated by Marcia Sewall. The author acknowledges that long before the pilgrims celebrated thanksgiving at Plymouth, the Indigenous peoples of the area (which is now Rhode Island) celebrated the harvest during a feast called Nickommoh, which means "give away" or "exchange." This book depicts the Nickommoh festivities of the Narragansett people.

“. . . the people come together, into the sacred circle, with glad hearts and prayers of Thanksgiving . . .”

Happy Thanksgiving!
