Best Answer

The Wampanoag Indians helped the pilgrims. It is believed that without the Indians, the pilgrims wouldn't have survived. Squanto specifically helped them. He taught them how to set corn and fertilize it, where to fish and where to forage for edible plants and fruit.

Three days after their first meeting he brought to the the pilgrims his friend Samoset, who spoke much better english and taught them even better skills and ideas. so, to answer your question, Squanto came first, but Samoset helped them more.
