c) Squanto

Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, famously communicated with the Pilgrims in English. His ability to speak English, acquired during his time in England, was pivotal in the survival of the Plymouth colony. Squanto acted as an intermediary, helping to establish relations between the Pilgrims and local Native American tribes. His role exemplifies the complex interactions between European settlers and Native Americans in the early years of colonization.
