They All Played A Part



Squanto was a key person in the success of the Pilgrims who came from England on the Mayflower. Squanto did various things that kept the Pilgrims alive. First Squanto was an interpreter for the colony. Squanto had been in England before and while he was in England he learned the English language. Squanto helped the Pilgrims talk to Massasoit who was the chief of the Wampanoag. The Wampanoag was the tribe that lived around Plymouth. Second, Squanto helped the Pilgrims with food in the New World. Squanto taught them how to plant things such as maize. Squanto also taught the Pilgrims how to fish and hunt for food. In my opinion, if the Pilgrims did not have Squanto it would have been very hard for them to survive in the New World. Squanto was very valuable to the Pilgrims. He also played a key role in their success in the New World.
