Samoset first greets the English settlers after they debark the Mayflower. Massasoit was the chief and signed a peace treaty with the settlers to become allies. Squanto was kidnapped and sent to England but later returned to his community and understood both langauges and cultures.

Before the settlers from Europe arrived, many indigenous people lived in North America. When the Mayflower arrived, they claimed land that belonged to the Wampanoag Nation.

The pilgrims arrived to the New World but unfortunately arrived in Cape Cod instead the Hudson River. They disagreed with what to do next and ultimately came together to create rules and laws that would be the Mayflower Compact.
