Question

Who did the settlers meet first? Squanto or Samoset? How do you know?

Answer 1

Samoset

In summary, while not widely credited in history books for his role in helping the Pilgrims following the harsh winter of 1620/21, on 16 Mar 1621, our Council's namesake, Samoset, an Abenaki sagamore, was the first Native American to contact the Pilgrims.
