Squanto

Native American contact of the Pilgrims

Tisquantum (c. 1585 (±10 years?) – November 30, 1622 O.S.), more commonly known as Squanto, was a member of the Patuxet tribe of Wampanoags, best known for being an early liaison between the Native American population in Southern New England and the Mayflower Pilgrims who made their settlement at the site of Tisquantum's former summer village, now Plymouth, Massachusetts. In 1614, Tisquantum was kidnapped by English sea captain Thomas Hunt, who trafficked him to Spain, selling him in the city of Málaga.
