They all played a part
One of the people that played a big part in helping the Pilgrams settle in the new world was Squanto. Squanto was the Native American that helped the Pilgrims after the first winter in the New World. It was a hard first winter for the Pilgrims and they were needing alot of help. Squanto was the one who helped them recover from that awful winter. He taught them the native method of Maize civilization. The method utilized fish to fertilize crops He also taught the colonists how to catch the fish that was necessary to fertilize maize in the native fashion. He also taught them methods by which they could catch eels and other local wildlife for food. All that Squanto did for the Pilgrims led to the first thankgiving between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. I believe that the Pilgrims would not have survived the New World if if wasnt for the help of the friendly Native American, Squanto.
