Will (Indian)
Will (probably born in the 1650s or 1660s) was an Indian of the Misquito tribe from what is now Honduras or Nicaragua. In history, he is known for having stayed as a castaway on uninhabited Robinson Crusoe Island, the largest of the archipelago of the Juan Fernández Islands, for more than three years. It is possible that he was the model for Friday, the famous fictitious (cannibal) character created by Daniel Defoe in his novel ''Robinson Crusoe''.
== In English service ==
As with other Miskitos, Will fought against the Spaniards and was therefore friendly towards English pirates or "privateers". In 1680 he and several other Misquitos went on board an English vessel under the command of John Watling. The English gave names to the Indians, and he ended up with the name Will.
In the end of 1680 the English decided to refresh their supplies on the largest of the uninhabited Juan Fernández Islands. On 1 January 1681, while Will was hunting for goats in the island's interior, his comrades suddenly departed without him after having seen enemy (Spanish) ships upon the horizon.
