You probably mean Squanto (real name Tisquantum), the Native American who helped the Pilgrims survive. The Pilgrims' first winter in America was hard; their shelters were inadequate for weather colder than they were used to, and they did not have enough food supplies. Squanto showed them how to grow good crops of corn by fertilizing the corn with fish. He also taught them how to catch these and other fish, as well as other wildlife necessary for food until the corn could grow and other vegetables could grow. Squanto helped the Pilgrims also as a guide and translator. Without Squanto's help, the Pilgrims probably would not have survived their second winter and the colony might have died out.
