In March of 1621, the colonists moved off the Mayflower. They began to settle a colony, which they called Plymouth. They met a Native American from the Patuxet tribe named Squanto, or Tisquantum. Squanto spoke English because he had been a slave in London, England. The colonists were weak after the hard winter. Squanto offered to help them forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a tribe of Native Americans. An alliance is a relationship in which people or groups agree to work together. Squanto used his interpretation skills. He translated the Native Americans' language into English. The colonists and Native Americans began to work peacefully together. Members of the tribe taught the colonists how to fish, hunt and grow plants. The colonists then learned to harvest, or collect, the food that they grew, like corn and beans.
