This, they discovered, was because the Indians themselves had nothing to eat. It happened that their hunting for the last few days had been unsuccessful. In the evening a fire was lit in the Sachem's hut, and a number of Indians came in and crouched around it, sitting on their heels and smoking their pipes. Then Massasoit stood up and made a speech. He said, looking at Mr. Winslow and Mr. Hopkins, "You are welcome here, and I will keep the treaty. But I am a very great chief. " Then he turned t...o the Indians and asked, "Am I not ruler of this country?" All the Indians grunted together and agreed that he was. "And am I not then ruler of this town?" All the Indians grunted again, and said that he was, indeed.
