Notice the thatched roofs. Most of the Pilgrims came from the city so they didn't know how to garden much. Each home had a "kitchen garden" with herbs, lentils and corn.
This is Natalie & Kevin under the "native people" shade covering. The grandma was the teacher & babysitter of the tribe. She could tell by the way the girls decorated their dolls if they were growing up normally. She also put your bag of stuff outside the dwelling if you weren't carrying your weight in the group. That meant you must move away and try to live with another tribe.
These Indian dwellings were very interesting. When completed they were covered in bark. All families shared one together.
The Pilgrims always had food cooking so that we could eat anytime. It was easier to maintain the fire then to start a new one.We just got home from a wonderful time in Cape Cod, MA. Our accommodations were modest so there aren't any pictures of it, but it was clean. Sunday we enjoyed going to Plymouth. We visited a pilgrim settlement and also the Wompano Indian village. The reenactment was great and we learned alot about each culture.
