Who was Squanto's dad?

Squanto's father was a leader of the Patuxet tribe, which was part of the Wampanoag confederation in present-day Massachusetts. His original name was Tisquantum, and he played a crucial role in early interactions between Native Americans and English settlers. Squanto was captured and taken to Europe before eventually returning to his homeland, where he became a key interpreter and guide for the Pilgrims.


Why was Squanto a traitor?

Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, was considered a traitor by some of his fellow Native Americans because he allied with the English settlers, particularly the Pilgrims, after having been captured and taken to Europe. He learned English and became a guide and interpreter for the settlers, sharing valuable agricultural knowledge that helped them survive. This collaboration was seen by some tribes as a betrayal of his people, especially as it contributed to the settlers' expansion and the subsequent decline of Native American autonomy in the region.


Who kidnapped Squanto first?

Squanto was first take to England by George Weymouth (an Eglishman) in 1605, but this may not technically be ocnsidered a kidnapping. it is possible that Squanto went with him voluntarily as it was Weymouth's intention to show off Squanto (and four others of his tribe) as examples of the exciting things to be found in the New WorldSquanto did not like England. He was terribly homesick and he returned to North America where he was captured in 1614 by Thomas Hunt (another Englishman). This was definely a kidnapping as Squanto was purposefully on his way to his home, and Hunt was intending to sell native into slavery in Spain.
