Massasoit was the leader of the Wampanoag Confederacy in the early 17th century, known for his role in establishing a peaceful relationship with the Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He signed a peace treaty in 1621 with Governor William Bradford, which helped ensure the survival of the Pilgrims during their first years in the New World. Massasoit's diplomacy and support were crucial in fostering cooperation between Native Americans and European settlers, although tensions later arose as colonial expansion continued.
