Detailed explanation-1: -Squanto helped the Pilgrims survive in New England. He taught them how to trade with Native American tribes in the area and worked as their interpreter as they did so. He taught them how to grow crops such as corn, beans, and squash. He also taught them how to fish and hunt.
Detailed explanation-2: -Squanto (l. c. 1585-1622 CE) was the Native American of the Patuxet tribe who helped the English settlers of Plymouth Colony (later known as pilgrims) survive in their new home by teaching them how to plant crops, fish, and hunt.
Detailed explanation-3: -He learned to speak English and was hired as a guide and interpreter. He taught the Pilgrims to plant corn. Squanto had much power among the Native Americans and the Pilgrims. He abused it, and barely escaped an Indian execution.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1614, he was kidnapped by English explorer Thomas Hunt, who brought him to Spain where he was sold into slavery. Squanto escaped, eventually returning to North America in 1619. He then returned to the Patuxet region, where he became an interpreter and guide for the Pilgrim settlers at Plymouth in the 1620s.
