Special Interactive DVD Peace Package
William Bradford (March 19, 1590-May 9, 1657)
was born in Yorkshire, England and was a committed member of the “Separatist”
church. He and his fist wife, Dorothy May, sailed to America with the Pilgrims
aboard the Mayflower to escape religious persecution.
Soon after arriving in the new world, the Pilgrims discovered
that the price for religious freedom was hunger, sickness and death. As a
peacemaker, William Bradford befriended the Native Americans, who taught the
struggling Pilgrims how to survive. By the end of the first year, William
Bradford became Governor of the new land. After their first critical harvest, he
set aside time for the Pilgrims and their new Native American friends to feast
together and to express thanks to God. William Bradford is credited with
establishing the first Thanksgiving celebration and is dubbed the “The Father of
Thanksgiving.”
Teach leadership, sharing, and gratitude with this 30-minute
animated educational DVD about William Bradford, “The Father of
Thanksgiving.” Excellent for developing homeschool curriculum
and a great teachingresource to use during
the Thanksgiving holidays.
Pocahontas (c. 1595-March 21, 1617) was the
daughter of Native American Chief Powhatan.
At a young age, Pocahontas befriended the settlers at
Jamestown, and her raw courage helped to save them from starvation and exposure.
Captain John Smith, one of the leading colonists at Jamestown, was a dear friend
to Pocahontas. When he was captured by a group of Powhatan, Pocahontas rushed to
his aid and saved his life. Her brave intervention was demonstrated on more than
one occasion and saved the settlers’ lives, bringing peace between two very
different people groups.
Pocahontas ended up marrying Englishman John Rolfe and gave
birth to one child, Thomas Rolfe. Teach kindness, loyalty, and
unselfishness with this 30-minute animated educational DVD about Pocahontas.
