| In an act of thanksgiving for their safe passage across the Chihuahuan desert, the Oņate entrada arranged for a feast to be held and asked the Mansos to be their guests. This thanksgiving was the first to be celebrated in what is now the United States, a full 23 years before that of the Pilgrims at the Plymouth Colony.
