They got the same stuff the settlers did, which was not Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and all the rest.
According to the diaries of some of the settlers; they ate venison and fish and corn (an exotic delicacy to the Europeans, and some of the seed supply for the Indians.
The menu was as exciting as "Today's Special is yesterday's Special with Gravy on it".
Then they starved and froze during the following winter.

There is SO MUCH left out of the histories taught in school...

Heh! I for one can say that I am human. If I were to choose I'd want to be a tiger! That all, a simple 300 lb. tiger that would eat hamburg and steak all day in a reserve....Yeah, that sounds about right. That or I'd like to live back in England again. I miss England.

YEah! And maybe you could sit around helplessly in a zoo as your species dies out, humanity doesn't care and you're incredibly bored.

I wouldn't let the species die out. Tigers are tigers. Tigers do what tigers do best. Eat, sleep and have "fun" with other tigers. The tiger population is growing slowly, at least. Besides, if I wanted to be in a species that is going to destroy itself I'd choose to be human again. That or I'd be a panda. Pandas are going to go extinct because they have a miscarriage every time a tree falls.(not kidding or exaggerating)
Stupid pandas! It's called mating. Get to it or you're going to die out....Moronic species, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

And I agree with Redeye on issues with history. One thing you left out was that the natives and the settlers didn't always see eye to eye. They were very...cautious around each other and had their "run ins" with each other. As for the history of this subject we bask in there are so many variation of the werecreatures that are thown to the fire or replaced with the well known evil weredemon. The native Americans, Japanese, chinese and some african cultures reveled and even romanticized such creatures of the 'fantasic'. In my opinion, Christianity and it's paranoid, superiority complex made creatures of the fantastic nature evil, bloodthirsty demons that preyed upon herd and little children.

Well I'm certainly not arguing with that statement, but I was under the impression that "werewolf" means nothing more than "man and wolf combined". I've never heard of any specifications which state a werewhatever can't be a shapeshifter.
