Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] was the Wampanoag Chief who attended the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony. He had made himself well known to the Pilgrims. He headed the Pokanoket indians, who were members of the Wampanoag Confederacy. He was concerned about the Pokanoket rivals, the Narragansett. He didn't want the Narragansett to benefit from Pilgrim presence in the area. So he concluded a friendly treaty with the Pilgrims on March 22, 1621. That's why he was happy to be invited to the Thanksgiving celebrations. And that's also why the Pilgrims were happy at the Chief's acceptance.

I'm assuming your referring to Thanksgiving of 1621 at Plymouth Colony, MA, rather Thanksgiving of 1619 at Berkley Hundreds, VA since the Virginia colonists fasted that day. The hit of the party at Plymouth were the seven deer the Wampanoag Indians brought. The menu was rounded out by; geese, turkeys, ducks and assorted game birds, eels, lobsters, clams and assorted fish, berries, squash, pumpkins and assorted fruit.
