They were not worried.

The Pilgrims didn't bring enough supplies to last through the winter. The Pokanoket Tribe watched the newcomers and found they were as children needing help to learn how to survive. Their numbers were only 50 having lost half of their number who crossed the waters by spring. Certainly the pilgrims were not a threat. The Massasoit whose name is Ousa Mequin helped them by teaching them how to hunt, fish, and plant the crops they would need to survive.

The Pokanoket Tribe, who were the headship tribe of the Wampanoag nation, later that year (1621) brought the food for the first Thanksgiving between the two cultures. The Indians found the Pilgrims to be a good people and not a threat at all. Those who arrived after the initial Pilgrims landed came to conquer, convert, and pillage. Those are the ones the Wampanoag fought the King Philip War against under the leadership of Metacom aka King Philip of the Pokanoket Tribe.
