The Indian Squanto first came to the pilgrims in the thick of the debate of weather the pilgrims should try to survive the winter or head back for England. He saved them from starvation and then taught them many useful survival skills he knew from his tribe. Three days after their first meeting he brought to the the pilgrims his friend Samoset, who spoke much better english and taught them even better skills and ideas. so, to answer your question, Squanto came first, but Samoset helped them more.
At first, many Native Americans were friendly to the Pilgrims, but they soon learned to distrust them once they realized that the Pilgrims were there to take over their land.
Native Americans taught pilgrims how to grow crops native to America. They also taught them how to fish, as well as hunt.

The Wampanoag tribe played a pivotal role in the Pilgrims' survival of their first winter in the New World. Thanksgiving did not become an official American holiday until the time of the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln thought it was a way to bring people together. The Pilgrims arrived cold and sick; many members of their group did not survive the voyage. There were abandoned Native American settlements and burial grounds in the area and several Pilgrims tried to scavenge for food and supplies.
The first winter for the pilgrims was almost unbearable. Many houses were not finished, so men and women stayed aboard the ship in order to keep warm and dry. Almost half of all of the pilgrims died that first winter of exposure or starvation.

According to a letter, hand-written by a Pilgrim named Edward Wintston, all of the Pilgrims who were present at the first Thanksgiving were survivors of the voyage on the Mayflower. Those present at the first Thanksgiving feast were 22 men, 13 children, 14 teenagers, and four married women. A total of 53 pilgrims were there. There were also some 90 Indians in attendance. Also derived from the letter is that the Indians killed 5 deer for the feast and brought them to share with the Pilgrims.
Yes, many Pilgrims died the first winter. In fact, about half of them died. In fact, approximately 82 of them died the first winter. In fact, I say in fact a lot, don`t I? lol...
