The Pilgrims, particularly through the efforts of individuals like Squanto and Governor William Bradford, made friends with the Wampanoag Indians in the early 17th century. Squanto, a Patuxet Indian who spoke English, acted as an intermediary, helping the Pilgrims learn essential agricultural techniques and establishing a peace treaty between the groups. This relationship was crucial for the survival of the Pilgrims during their early years in the New World.
