Squanto Teaches Pilgrims Survival Skills in Early America #269620 (License: Personal Use)

The illustration depicts two scenes of cultural exchange in early 17th-century New England: on the left, Squanto shows Pilgrims how to gather safe wild berries and collect sap from maple trees, which they later boil into sugar; on the right, he demonstrates hunting techniques for deer, turkey, and other local wildlife. These teachings were vital for the Pilgrims’ survival during their first harsh winters in the New World.
