The Pawtuxet Indian who served as an interpreter and intermediary between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag was Squanto, also known as Tisquantum. He had previously been kidnapped and taken to England, where he learned English, which enabled him to communicate effectively with the Pilgrims. Squanto played a crucial role in helping the Pilgrims establish relations with the Wampanoag tribe, teaching them essential agricultural practices and facilitating trade and cooperation. His assistance was vital for the survival of the Pilgrims in their early years in America.
