Squanto's Impact on the Pilgrims

It had been a rough winter when the Pilgrims came over to the New World. They took a rough beating by almost half of their colony died before spring even came. The Pilgrims never had to much interaction with the Indians at first, but one day an Indian named Samoset came and he spoke English. A couple days after he came back with his fellow Indian Squanto came with him. Squanto taught the Pilgrims many "tricks of the trade" such as building warmer houses and plating corn. Squanto ended up staying with the Pilgrims for eighteen months until he went back to his tribe.
