Suffering Succotash

So, for Thanksgiving, you get a quiz and a recipe... no cheating! And remember that I teach second grade, so don't judge me if you think these are easy questions. Post your answers and I'll grade you. :)
1. What year was the first Thanksgiving? What month?
2. Name the Indian (yeah, yeah, Native American) chief that met the first Pilgrims.
3. How long did the first Thanksgiving feast last?
4. The Indians brought what food to the feast?
5. How many Indians attended that first Thanksgiving?
6. Can you tell I'm more Native American than Pilgrim?...what tribe am I?!
