Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] was the Wampanoag chief who was invited to the first Thanksgiving celebrations by the Pilgrims in the New World. His name meant 'Great Sachem'. He was the leader of the Pokanoket Indians within the Wampanoag Confederacy. In that position, he negotiated a treaty of March 22, 1621 with the Pilgrims. The treaty guaranteed a friendly interaction between the Pilgrims and the Pokanoket in solidarity against the Narragansett Indians.
According to legend, Massassoit's features could be seen at Profile Rock in Assonet, Massachusetts. Additionally, he was the subject of famous statues at Plymouth Rock and at the Main Street-Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard intersections of Kansas City, Missouri; on the Brigham Young University campus; and outside the Utah State Capitol Building. In all four cases the artist was sculptor and Olympic archer Cyrus Edwin Dallin [November 22, 1861-November 14, 1944]. Dallin perhaps became most famous for his sculpting of the Angel Moroni to top the spire of the Salt Lake City Temple. He was to say of his masterpiece, 'My angel Moroni brought me nearer to God than anything I ever did'.

What Indians were the first invited to Thanksgiving?
Invited to thanksgiving? Do you think anything from the first Thanksgiving was actually provided by Pilgrims? There was a feast because the Wampanoag brought deer & corn & pumpkin to the starving Pilgrims - in our way we help those not so fortunate. Please, check your history. The Wampanoag fed those terrorists who turned on them as soon as they could feed themselves, infected them with smallpox and other viruses and sold them into slavery because they had superior weapons. Give me a break. We saved your butts and you turned on us like a wounded badger. And there weren't any turkey's served - Wampanoag didn't eat turkey.
