Tisquantum was a member of the Pawtuxet (Patuxet) tribe who was taken prisoner, along with numerous other Pawtuxets and Nausets, by Captain Thomas Hunt and later taken to Malaga in Spain. There he was "rescued" by Spanish friars; from Spain Tisquantum managed to get passage to England and he lived in London for some time with John Slaney.
There he learned to speak reasonably good English and was employed on an expedition to Newfoundland as an interpreter. In 1619 Tisquantum was returned to his home country, only to find that disease had practically wiped out the Pawtuxet people. He later became a valued member of the Plymouth colony as interpreter.
His name refers to the "anger of the Great Spirit" and may have been given to him only after contact with the white explorers; his original name is unknown. The shortened version "Squanto" seems to be a much later abbreviation that was not used in his lifetime.
