Answer:

Squanto helped the Pilgrims communicate with the Native Amer- icans. He taught them how to plant corn. He taught them how to catch fish. He taught them where to find nuts and berries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most Americans have heard the somewhat true story of Tisquantum, popularly known as Squanto, and how he helped the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony by teaching them how to plant and grow North American crops, thus saving them from starvation. Some know he was motivated not so much by goodwill as desperation.

n 1621, Squanto was introduced to the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and subsequently acted as an interpreter between Pilgrim representatives and Wampanoag Chief Massasoit.
