Cornucopia

The cornucopia, which means horn of plenty, has

long been representative of the harvest season.

Though it has its roots in an ancient civilization, the

cornucopia has survived as an icon of the modern

Thanksgiving celebration.

Corn
Corn was one of the primary foods of Native

Americans. It was also one of the crops they taught

the pilgrims to grow which saved them from

starvation. Corn is thought to be a symbol of

agriculture and a healthy harvest.

Black Hats, Pilgrims, and Indians

Black hats with buckles refer to Pilgrims. These

symbols sprang from the story of what many

consider to be the “first Thanksgiving”. They

represent the friendship and appreciation we show

for others no matter how different we may be.
