How did the wampanoag people interact with Massachusetts?

The Wampanoag people interacted with Massachusetts through trade, cultural exchange, and early encounters with European settlers. Initially, they established trade relationships with the Pilgrims, providing them with food and assistance for survival. However, these interactions eventually led to conflict, most notably during King Philip's War in the late 1670s, as tensions rose over land and resources. The Wampanoag's relationships with Massachusetts settlers were complex, involving both cooperation and conflict.
