Canadian Thanksgiving is rooted in Canada’s Indigenous values. First Nations across Turtle Island have traditions for giving thanks for surviving the winter and receiving crops as a reward for their hard work. The traditions also included feasting, prayer, dance, potluck, and other ceremonies.

The first Thanksgiving by Europeans in North America was held by Sir Martin Frobisher and his crew in the Eastern Arctic in 1578. They ate a meal of salt beef, biscuits and mushy peas to celebrate and give thanks for their safe arrival in what is now Nunavut.<\/p>\n
