How did the Native Americans assist the settlers? PLEASE HELPP

Most Americans have been taught that American Indians attended a harvest feast the Pilgrims held in 1621 at Plymouth Plantation, Mass.

But they may not be aware of the leading role the Indians played in the settlers' survival in the new land, said Edwin Schupman, of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

Not only did Native Americans bring deer, corn and perhaps freshly caught fowl to the feast, they also ensured the Puritan settlers would survive through the first year in America by acclimating them to a habitat they had lived in for thousands of years.

The Indians helped the settlers by teaching them how to plant crops and survive on the land. But the Indians did not understand that the settlers were going to keep the land. This idea was foreign to the Indians. To them, it was like trying to own the air, or the clouds.
