The Indian Squanto first came to the pilgrims in the thick of the debate of weather the pilgrims should try to survive the winter or head back for England. He saved them from starvation and then taught them many useful survival skills he knew from his tribe. Three days after their first meeting he brought to the the pilgrims his friend Samoset, who spoke much better english and taught them even better skills and ideas. so, to answer your question, Squanto came first, but Samoset helped them more.
