Prayers of thanks and special thanksgiving ceremonies are common among almost all religions after harvests and at other times.

Indians vs. Pilgrims
There were the Indians... One day in the island & they began to see people coming... They were scared.
-We need to hide in because I think they are bad people, said an Indian
When the Pilgrims arrived, Indians were scared but the Pilgrims saw them & they started to hit and bother the Indians, the Indians were so pacific with the Pilgrims & let them stay there & they were friends & shared food.
So that is why Indians say THANKS!
It is a little story but it is great, there is a lot of information and it explains very good.
