Answer:

In 1621 Chief Massasoit established one of the earliest trading pacts between Europeans and Natives by signing a treaty with Plymouth Colony to engage in peaceful trade. As the number of English colonists in the New England area began to grow, the Wampanoag became uneasy of losing their land to these new settlers.
