#Samoset, an Indigenous #Abenaki from what is now Maine, surprised the "#Pilgrims" of #PlymouthColony by greeting them in English, #ThisDayInHistory in 1621. On a later visit he brought #Squanto, last survivor of the #Patuxet, who in turn helped them adapt to life in the region.

The Wampanoag tribe, whose ancestors trace back at least 10,000 years, lived in the area, and the indigenous name for the place was "Patuxet".

The Wampanoags watched as the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, and the village where they settled was known as Patuxet by the Native Americans.

Did you know that one of the reasons the people on the #Mayflower stopped in Plymouth was because they ran out of beer?
