Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] was the chief who was at the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving. He already knew the Pilgrim community. Earlier that year, on March 22, 1621, he had concluded a friendly treaty with the colony. His Pokanoket Indians were part of the Wampanoag Confederacy that was on unfriendly terms with the Narragansett Indians of the same area. Massassoit wanted to get along with the Pilgrims, to keep them from allying with his enemies.
