Peace and trade agreement is signed at New Plymouth.

Chickataubut, Massasoit (Ousamequin), and seven other sachems sign the peace and trade agreement with the leaders of the settlement at New Plymouth. As part of the agreement, the Native Americans acknowledge themselves as subjects to King James and pledge that the Wampanoags will help the Pilgrims if their settlement is attacked. The Pilgrims agree to do the same if the Wampanoags are attacked. Russell Herbert Gardner later writes, “. . .the Indians indicated a sharing of their country with the newcomers, not giving up of all use and rights to their land forever.”
