Mayflower -- Question 5

Squanto was a very proud Indian, who was witty and indifferent. Squanto wanted to be the main leader of the Indians on the Cape. Squanto had a strong relationship with William Bradford. Squanto was Bradford's interpreter, but Bradford began to form strong ties with Squanto and trusted him above any other Indian. When Squanto tried to break the alliance between the Pilgrims and the Pokanokets, and leave Massasoit, the Pokanoket sachem, the criminal. When the Pilgrims and the Pokanokets found out about Squanto's malfeasance, the Pokanokets demanded Sqanto's death. But, Bradford would not turn Squanto over to the Pokanokets. This made them mad, and was the beginning event of the falling pint for the Pilgrim - Pokanoket alliance. So, even though Squanto would not be the supreme leader of the Cape Indians, he sort of accomplished what he set out to do.
