| Samoset, a Native from the Monhegan tribe in Maine who spoke English, | walked into Plymouth on March 16, 1621. |
| He greeted the Pilgrims by saying, | "Welcome, Englishmen! My name is Samoset." |
| Samoset returned to Plymouth on March 22. He brought Massasoit with him | who was a Pokanoket Wampanoag sachem (leader). |
| Governor Bradford and Massasoit signed | a peace treaty. |
| The Native Americans helped the | colonists to gather food, plant corn, find their way in the wilderness |
| In October 1621 the Pilgrims had a three-day celebration to give | thanks for their first harvest. |
| There were games, singing, and plenty of food, Massasoit and 90 other Wampanoag | attended the celebration. The Wampanoag brought much of the food. |
| This celebration eventually became the holiday | we know as Thanksgiving. |
| During the next three years the Pilgrims would often be short on food supplies | and had to trade with the Natives and ration their food. |
