Detailed explanation-1: -Massasoit and the Pilgrims agreed to a treaty which said that none of Massasoit’s men would harm the Pilgrims–and if they did, he would send them to the Pilgrims for punishment. And if anyone did unjust war against Massasoit, the Pilgrims would come to his aid.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Pilgrims recognized the necessity of befriending the “locals” to help them become a viable colony. The Wampanoag obliged by showing them what to fish for, how to plant and cultivate crops in the rocky Massachusetts soil, and how to hunt in the woods.
Detailed explanation-3: -To celebrate its first success as a colony, the Pilgrims had a “harvest feast” that became the basis for what’s now called Thanksgiving. The Wampanoags weren’t invited. Ousamequin and his men showed up only after the English in their revelry shot off some of their muskets.
