Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, was captured by English explorer Thomas Hunt in 1614 and taken to Spain as a slave. He eventually escaped and made his way to England, where he learned English and lived with a group of traders. In 1619, he returned to North America with a group of fishermen, only to find that his tribe had been decimated by disease. He then played a crucial role in helping the Pilgrims survive their first winter in 1620.
