However, an even earlier Thanksgiving celebration had occurred in Canada in 1578, when explorer Martin Frobisher hosted a formal feast to give thanks after surviving the difficult journey to Newfoundland.Scholastic: The First Thanksgiving Feast Twilight Bridge: History and Origin of Canadian ThanksgivingThanksgiving has come to mean many different things to different people over the centuries.
