The Wampanoag!
They lived in southeastern Massachusetts and
Rhode Island
in the beginning of the 17th century, at the time of first contact with the English colonists, a territory that included the islands of
Martha's Vineyard
and
Nantucket
. Their population numbered in the thousands; 3,000 Wampanoag lived on Martha's Vineyard alone.
From 1615 to 1619, the Wampanoag suffered an epidemic, long suspected to be
smallpox
. Modern research, however, has suggested that it may have been
leptospirosis
, a bacterial infection which can develop into
Weil's syndrome
. It caused a high fatality rate and decimated the Wampanoag population. Researchers suggest that the losses from the epidemic were so large that colonists were able to establish their settlements in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony
more easily. More than 50 years later,
King Philip's War
(1675–1676) of the
Narragansett
and their allies against the colonists and their Native American allies resulted in the death of 40 percent of the surviving tribe. Many male Wampanoag were sold into slavery in
Bermuda
or the
West Indies
, and some women and children were enslaved by colonists in
New England
.
The tribe largely disappeared from historical records after the late 18th century, although its people and descendants persisted. Survivors continued to live in their traditional areas and maintained many aspects of their culture, while absorbing other peoples by marriage and adapting to changing economic and cultural needs in the larger society. Jessie Little Doe Baird, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project in 1993.
One of the several early genocides on the American continent conducted by the European colonists unfortunately.....

Please refer to the following link:
What Really Happened at the 1st Thanksgiving | Voice of America - English (voanews.com)
The Pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest in the fall of 1621 by firing guns and cannons in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The noise alarmed ancestors of the contemporary
Wampanoag Nation
who went to investigate.
That's how native people came to be present at the first Thanksgiving, says Ramona Peters, historic preservation officer of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, which suggests that paintings depicting Native Americans sitting down for a bountiful and harmonious meal with colonial families is basically a lie.
