Squantofest

Tisquantum: a man in full.

A Patuxet man. Widely travelled. Crossed the Atlantic four times. Exploited for his multilingual skills by everyone who chanced by. Last of his kind. Warrior, farmer, survivor. Like most of us, he might have preferred for various folks with guns and plans to leave him the heck alone so he could deerhunt, fish, farm, have a family and live with his people in peace. History rolled over him and that wasn't to be his fate.

Honorary Texan of Thanksgiving, 2009: Squanto!
