Pilgrims & Wampanoag Meet

meeting
 
After the long, cold winter in the spring, a Native American named Samoset walks into Plimoth colony and says “ Welcome Englishmen.”
Samoset had learned some English from European fishermen.
He introduces the Pilgrims to the Wampanoag leader Chief Massasoit.
 
These Indians help the Pilgrims by showing how they hunt and fish and farm.
The two groups exchange gifts and sign the “ Treaty of Friendship.”
 
Why do you think the Wampanoag came to the Plimoth settlement?
Why did the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag sign the treaty?
