Detailed explanation-1: -On the orders of their leader, Ousamequin (known to the settlers as Massasoit), the Wampanoags taught the English men and women how to plant crops, where to fish and hunt, and other skills that would prove critical to the new colony’s survival.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conflict between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags was sure to happen since the two groups cared about different things and lived differently. Pilgrims and Wampanoags cooperated a lot in the early years of contact, but conflict was eventually going to happen because the two sides did not communicate very well.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest in 1621 by shooting their guns into the air, which caused Massasoit to bring together warriors and prepare for battle. Instead of fighting, the Wampanoag and pilgrims worked together to prepare a feast.
