Answer 1

The Pilgrims spent their first winter in a Native American village because they were invited by the natives. The Wampanoag tribe, led by Massasoit, allowed the Pilgrims to stay in the abandoned Patuxet village.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pilgrims spent their first winter in a Native American village because the natives invited them. The Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620 and encountered the Wampanoag tribe. The Wampanoag leader, Massasoit, agreed to a peace treaty with the Pilgrims and helped them survive their first winter by inviting them to stay in the abandoned Patuxet village, which had been decimated by disease.
