The treaty with Massasoit, the leader of the Wampanoag tribe, arose from a mutual need for alliance and peace between the Pilgrims and Native Americans in the early 17th century. After the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth Colony in 1620 and faced challenges such as food scarcity and potential conflicts with other tribes, they sought to establish a formal agreement with Massasoit. This led to the signing of a treaty in 1621, which ensured mutual protection and support, allowing both groups to coexist and collaborate for their survival. The treaty was significant in fostering a period of relative peace between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people.
