Pilgrims
Wampanoag
The Wampanoag Indians helped the pilgrims. It is believed that without the Indians, the pilgrims wouldn't have survived. Squanto specifically helped them. He taught them how to set corn and fertilize it, where to fish and where to forage for edible plants and fruit.

the first Indian that came to the pilgrims and said "welcome englishmen" was named "Squanto"... hope that helps.
