Actually...

When the pilgrims arrived, the Native American leaders thought they were a nuisance, and were disturbed greatly by their presence. However, instead of just killing them, the pilgrims had guns and cannons, and so, they sent Squanto there. Squanto spoke English fluently, and since the Pilgrims had a tough time adapting to their new environment, Squanto helped them harvest crops and stuff, and in return, the pilgrims gave them some of their guns and cannons. At the end of the harvest, the pilgrims took the crops Squanto had shown them to make and had a nice meal, AKA, the first Thanksgiving.

Thar chu go, the full story. XD
