Soon after the Pilgrims built their settlement, they came into contact with Tisquantum, or Squanto, an English-speaking Native American.

Detailed explanation-4: -The First Indian War In 1675, the government of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts executed three members of the Wampanoag people. The Wampanoag leader, Philip (also known as Metacom) retaliated by leading the Wampanoags and a group of other peoples (including the Nipmuc, Pocumtuc, and Narragansett).
