On March 16th, 1621, the first peaceful contacts took place between Pilgrims and Wampanoags, one of them named Samoset, served as their interpreter. Then, the Native Americans tribe, the Wampanoags helped the Pilgrims. The Native Americans showed the Pilgrims the agricultural techniques and the local crops (pumpkins, Indian corn, ...) so they could grow food to eat. This painting is a representation of the Wampanoags and the Pilgrims meal. The Pilgrims gave food to the Wampanoags to give thanks.
