Text document

It is the Harvest Feast Days that some non-Native persons may recognize as a type of Thanksgiving ceremony - they are centuries old and centuries older than those ceremonies of the early Scandinavians, Italians, Portuguese, Pilgrims, Puritans, Spaniards, Polish, Dutch, French, Acadians, Huguenots, English, Germans, and others who came and took land from the Indigenous peoples.[...] The native thankfulness for crops and months later for surviving the winter, all shown in Feast Days, is thousands of years old - 12,000 to 48,000 or more years old in America and part of these traditions came from East Asian countries from where Native North Americans migrated over time.

Today, these festivals of thanksgiving to the Great Spirit and to nature for crops and life are still celebrated in homes, at Pow Wows1 and on reservations. Many nations have thanked the Great Spirit for providing abundance after the first full moon of September.

Text document

In as much as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes1 , and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game2 and the sea with fish and clams, and in as much as He has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence3 and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience.

Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye4 Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the daytime, on Thursday, November 29th , of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.

William Bradford Ye Governor of Ye Colony.

Grammar in progress

Exprimer la cause

  • En français, on utilise la structure pour + avoir + participe passé alors qu'en anglais, on utilise V-ing.
    Ex : Thank you for having invited me. → Je te remercie de m'avoir invité(e).
    Ex : He was punished for having stolen in a shop. → Il a été puni pour avoir volé dans un magasin.
    Retrouvez deux exemples de cette structure dans le texte B.

  • On peut aussi utiliser because (of + nom) ou because / as / since + préposition.
