Why did Scwonto help the pilgrems?

Squanto, a Patuxet Native American, helped the Pilgrims primarily out of a desire to assist and foster goodwill, as he had previously been exposed to Europeans and understood their ways. After being captured and taken to Europe, he returned to find his tribe decimated by disease. He taught the Pilgrims essential survival skills, such as planting crops and fishing, which were crucial for their survival in the New World, ultimately forging a pivotal alliance between the two groups.
