Because the Wampanoag, who had helped them survive a very difficult year.
Massasoit was the chief of Wampanoag tribe that helped the Plymouth citizens. They had helped one another in hunting and harvesting food and came together to the celebrate Thanksgiving.
No one helped he Indians plant crops! The Indians helped the Pilgrims plant crops, and saved their lives.
The Wampanoag taught the pilgrims how to grow food that would grow in the Plymouth soil, showed them where to find game and fish and, of course, they didn't destroy the civilization when they were still stronger.
definitely not! They pilgrims learned to fertilize the soil with fish remains from Squanto. He helped establish relations with the Wampanoag Indians. Conditions in the colony began to improve with Swuanto. -B- the pilgrims were failing to get enough food when they came to America... the natives helped them by showing them corn and how to raise crops in the rocky new England soil... the pilgrims were also not used to the MA weather and had no idea what to do,.. so they usually sat around idly. The natives gave all their knowledge about surviving in new England to the pilgrims and in return the pilgrims killed them off.
The Indians helped the pilgrims get used to planting in the rich fertile soil when the pilgrims came to America. The Indians trusted the pilgrims and showed them a new food plant,corn. After that happened, the Indians and the pilgrims had Thanksgiving. That is when Thanksgiving Day started.
the pilgrims in Jamestown, Virginia lived by having food brought over to them. later on the natives helped the pilgrims by teaching them how to hunt and grow crops.
The Wampanoag people are the most noted for aiding the settlers from Europe.
The Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by teaching them how to live off the new and unfamiliar land. They showed them techniques for getting water, how to grow crops, and how to survive the harsh winters in on the East coast. They also helped the Pilgrims with hunting. It's doubtful they knew anything about hunting game for food based on their history.
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.
