Relationship with the Indians When they first arrived they got into a little fight with them but no one died, after that they got along. They actually helped each other outMany colonists had never learned to farm. The Wampanoag helped them prepare the soil and introduced them to the crops that would help them survive in the New World.

Settlement The settlers named their new home after their English home, Plymouth (also spelled “Plimouth.”) They called their settlement “Plymouth Plantation.” The climate was cold, and life was more difficult than they had expected. Over the first winter, nearly half the settlers died of disease The early settlers thought they would make their living fishing. At that time, the oceans and rivers teemed with fish. But after living in Plymouth for several years, they became successful farmers and fur traders as well. They learned both of these skills through the local tribe, the Wampanoag.
