| death_date = November 30, 1622 | death_place = Chatham, Massachusetts Bay Colony, English America | nationality = Patuxet | religion = Catholic〔http://www.christianpost.com/news/god-s-instrument-23645/〕 (converted from Patuxet North American Indigenous Religion) | known_for = Helping the pilgrims during their first visit to North America}} Tisquantum (died November 30, 1622), also known as Squanto, was a Patuxet man who assisted the Pilgrims after their first winter in what is now Massachusetts. He was integral to their very survival. He was a member of the Patuxet tribe, a tributary of the Wampanoag Confederacy. During his lifetime, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean six times, traveling with colonists to London and back. ==Etymology== ''Squanto'' and ''Tisquantum'' derive from a Wampanoag word for divine rage. This was likely a name he was given as an adult. ''Smithsonian'' magazine reports: More than likely Tisquantum was not the name he was given at birth. In that part of the Northeast, ''tisquantum'' referred to rage, especially 'the world-suffusing spiritual power' at the heart of coastal Indians' religious beliefs. When Tisquantum approached the Pilgrims and identified himself by that sobriquet, it was as if he had stuck out his hand and said, Hello, I'm the Wrath of God. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Squanto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
