The Pilgrims, who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, made friends with the Wampanoag Indians, particularly Squanto and Samoset. Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn, squash, and pumpkins, which helped ensure their survival during their first winter in the New World. Samoset was the first Native American to make contact with the Pilgrims and established a peaceful relationship between them and the Wampanoag tribe.
The Pokanoket Indians who accompanied Chief Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. Their Chief had concluded a treaty with the Pilgrims, on March 22, 1621. He had agreed to friendly interactions with the Pilgrims as protection for Wampanoag Confederacy peoples against their enemies, the Narragansett Indians of the area.
