Question

Two Indian friends of the Pilgrims were: Samoset and Squanto Squanto and Massasoit Massasoit and Samoset

Answer 1

Technically, they all befriended the Pilgrims. Samoset was visiting Massasoit, the chief. He went to the Pilgrims because he spoke English. Squanto also visited with them and befriended them. Massasoit agreed they could live peaceably near one another if each group continued to be helpful to the other. Given the choices you provided, I would probably go with Squanto and Massasoit

Answer 2

Two Indian friends of the Pilgrims were Massasoit and Squanto.

Step-by-step explanation:

Massasoit was a Native American leader of the wampanoag, a tribe located in the northeastern United States.

He was born in the town of Pokanoket in the vicinity of the current city of Bristol, Rhode Island. Due to the arrival of a group of Englishmen at the end of 1620, who had founded the town of Plymouth, Massasoit sent the native Abenaki Samoset to welcome them and subsequently delegated to Squanto, who spoke the English language fluently. At that time the colonizers were having a bad time in the territory, as their crops were spoiled and many of its inhabitants had died.

Under Massasoit's orders, Squanto gave them valuable help to survive, as he taught them how to grow corn, build houses and fish. In 1621 Massasoit himself - at that time in his 40s - moved with 60 warriors to visit the settlers, achieving, on March 22, a treaty of mutual aid in case of attack. This was probably due to the threat of the Narragansett on their people. The month of October of that year he invited emigrants to a ceremony to celebrate the annual harvest, a situation that was the origin of Thanksgiving celebrated in the United States.
