| 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.”
