Squanto

Squanto (died November 1622, Chatham Harbor, Plymouth Colony [now Chatham, Massachusetts, U.S.]) was a Native American interpreter and guide. Squanto was born into the Pawtuxet people who occupied lands in present-day Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Little is known about his early life. Some authorities believe that he was taken from home to England in 1605 by George Weymouth and returned with explorer John Smith in 1614–15. He was, in any event, seized with other Indians...
