They got wiped out.
The Patuxet were a Native American band of the Wampanoag tribal confederation. They lived primarily in and around modern-day Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Patuxet have been extinct since 1622. Wikipedia
NO good deed huh?
“Take the story of Squanto, the famed Indian guide and translator for the even more famous Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony, those intrepid voyagers on the Mayflower…How, might we ask, had this deus ex machina learned English well enough to approach the pilgrims in 1621? The answer is grim; Squanto had been kidnapped in 1614 by Thomas Hunt. Already, then, before the Pilgrims had endured their first winter, the interlocked gears of colonization and enslavement had forced a Patuxet Indian man across the Atlantic and back, into chattel slavery and out. William Bradford, governor of Plymouth, late describe with delight that "Squanto continued with them and was a special instrument of God for their good beyond their expectation. The Christian God, Squanto might have thought, worked in mysterious ways.

Michael Simms: The True Story of Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving story you know probably goes like this:
English Pilgrims, seeking religious freedom, landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where they found a rich land full of animals and were greeted by a friendly Indian named Squanto, who taught them how to plant corn.
The true story is more complicated — and more interesting. According to historians, here’s what really happened:
In 1614, six…

Perhaps I could start with a travel conjuncture that has, to my thinking at least, come to occupy a paradigmatic place. Call it the "Squanto effect." Squanto was the Indian who greeted the pilgrims in 1620 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, who helped them through a hard winter, and who spoke good English. To imagine the full effect of this meeting, you have to remember what the "New World" was like in 1620: You could smell the pines fifty miles out to sea. Think of coming into a new place like that and having the uncanny experience of running into a Patuxet just back from Europe.

I think it's important to remember the Patuxet massacre that Thanksgiving Day is based on. "Today the town of Plymouth Rock has a Thanksgiving ceremony each year in remembrance of the first Thanksgiving. There are still Wampanoag people living in Massachusetts. In 1970, they asked one of them to speak at the ceremony to mark the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrim's arrival. Here is part of what was said: "Today is a time of celebrating for you -- a time of looking back to the first days of white people in America. But it is not a time of celebrating for me. It is with a heavy heart that I look back upon what happened to my People. When the Pilgrims arrived, we, the Wampanoags, welcomed them with open arms, little knowing that it was the beginning of the end. That before 50 years were to pass, the Wampanoag would no longer be a tribe. That we and other Indians living near the settlers would be killed by their guns or dead from diseases that we caught from them. Let us always remember, the Indian is and was just as human as the white people." #thanksgiving #nativeamerican #history #Patuxet #
First accounts of the obvious
"The pilgrim fathers who made landfall at cape cod, massachusetts in 1620, had little experience in farming and gardening, least of all with native plants. Â Half their party died in the first winter and many more would have perished in the second if the Patuxet Squanto Indians had not shown them how to grow pumpkins among their corn, using herring as fertilizer."
