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].
