The Wampanoag under grand sachem (chief) Massasoit maintained a peaceful relationship with the Pilgrims. The two groups concluded a treaty in 1621, and the Wampanoag shared techniques of planting, fishing, and cooking with the settlers that were essential to their survival in the wilderness. The relationship between the Wampanoag and the English deteriorated as more colonies were founded and Europeans began encroaching on Indigenous land.
