Photograph was edited for publication purposes; One of two photographs documenting the event. Photograph caption dated November 23, 1964 reads, "When the Sevens have Thanksgiving dinner the whole family gets into the act, especially when Daddy cooks. At left, Laura and Johnny sneak a peak into the oven. At right, Laura helps her mother stir batter for Johnny cakes. After Seven began studying about the Indians, the children became interested too. This, of course, called for feathers and headbands for everyone, including Georgie, the family dog. Mrs. Seven says that some of the research was a help to the children at school because history goes hand-in-hand with food."
