∙ 14y agoThe Pilgrims came to the Americas from the Netherlands. The pilgrims made their first settlement, Jamestown, in Virginia. This settlement at first seemed to be the perfect place for a settlement, but indeed it was not. There were many marshes surrounding Jamestown, so the mosquitoes were plenty.
The Pilgrims' settlement was struggling with food and disease. The Native Americans helped the Pilgrims in many ways.
They taught them how to harvest corn, which was important to the Pilgrims' food supply. They taught them how to make many tools, and to make use of the many resources around them.
The Native Americans passed all of their knowledge to the Pilgrims, also teaching them how to hunt and fish.
The Pilgrims were very grateful, so the invited the Native Americans to a three day long feast, at which they celebrated the success of a colony.
This feast became later known as the first Thanksgiving.

∙ 11y agoNative Americans taught the settles where to hunt and fish and how to grow corn and squash. They showed them that if you put a dead fish in the soil by a plant, to fish would fertilize the soil and help the plant be healthier and stronger. Without the Natives, the settlers would not have survived at all.

Why did so many of the pilgrims die after the first winter?
they had no idea how to grow food for themselves, so a lot of them starved before the Native Americans could teach them (btw, Thanksgiving is "giving thanks" to the Indians for teaching us how to grow our own stuff). also, it was freakin' COLD. Actually the Pilgrims had a pretty good knowledge about how to grow food, but they arrived in December, far too late to plant any crops.
