The purpose of the 1621 Thanksgiving was to thank God for the harvest, not to "thank the native Americans for their hospitality and kindness." it is unclear from the sources whether they even invited the Indians.

They did eat turkey -- in addition to venison supplied by Massaoit and his tribe.

Nobody ever claimed that they ate pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes in 1621. Different foods have been added to the meal over the centuries it has been celebrated.
