Detailed explanation-2: -The first direct contact with a Native American was made in March 1621, and soon after, Chief Massasoit paid a visit to the settlement. After an exchange of greetings and gifts, the two peoples signed a peace treaty that lasted for more than 50 years.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conflict between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags was sure to happen since the two groups cared about different things and lived differently.
