The location of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag in New England significantly influenced their diets, as they had access to different Natural Resources. The Pilgrims relied on crops like corn, beans, and squash, which thrived in the region's soil, while also fishing and hunting local game. The Wampanoag, familiar with the land, utilized native plants and animals, and their knowledge of seasonal cycles allowed them to gather food efficiently. Both groups adapted their eating habits based on the local environment, leading to a blend of agricultural and foraging practices.

The Pilgrims were taught how to grow their own food by the Wampanoag tribe. Native American leader Squanto, a member of the Patuxet band of the Wampanoag, played a crucial role in helping the Pilgrims learn agricultural techniques, such as planting corn, beans, and squash. This assistance was vital for the Pilgrims' survival during their early years in America. The collaboration between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag led to the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621.
