The name of the first Native American who met the pilgrims?

The first Thanksgiving

The name of the first Native American who met the pilgrims?
In 1620, a group of Puritans, who were heading for Virginia, got blown off-course and landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, instead. In the autumn of 1621, they celebrated a three-day thanksgiving feast with the native Wampanoag people, without whom they would not have survived the winter of 1620.





The article doesn't mention a specific person's name, but the tribe was Wampanoag.





Hope this helps!
Reply:There's no such person.





The whole concept of the actual first feast of Thanksgiving is a myth. There was no one Native American.

Reply:Actually the white people made up the story to sell papers in the 1800s. What actually happened is the Indians showed the settlers how to store food in the ground for future use and how to survive the winter .and in return the settlers robbed the Indians winter storages and left the natives to die of starvation.Natives showed them huge oyster beds and where to find beaver , the settlers began harvesting so much and selling it there was nothing left to gather. Thanksgiving day isnt such a celebrated day in the Native Culture
