Standish led ten men of Plymouth in arms to rescue Squanto from Corbitant, and assaulted the Wampanoag village at Nemasket, but by that time Corbitant had released Squanto and withdrawn from the area.

  1. Hobomok

    For the Algonquin diety Hobomok god Hobomok was a Native American who served as a guide, interpreter, and aide to the Pilgrims of Plymouth, Massachusetts . Like Tisquantom, better known as Squanto , Hobomok was essential to the survival and diplomatic success of the English in New England . Hobomok actually played a much larger role in relations with the English than Squanto played, although Squanto tends to get most of the attention in history books. Hobomok converted to Christianity and was beloved by the English until his death in 1642. He died from a European disease that he contracted from his close European friends. Hobomok was part of the Wampanoag people Wampanoag tribe, which, in the Algonquian languages Algonquian language, means People of the Dawn. Other Indians feared Hobomok so much that when they saw him in a battle, they would immediately leave. Hobomok was specifically asked by Massasoit the leader of the Wampanoag to help the Pilgrims. His memory lives on in several place names in modern day greater Plymouth, Massachusetts Plymouth and surrounding regions. His name may have been a pseudonym , as it means mischievous . Hobomok became the chief interpreter only because Massasoit mistrusted Squanto . Squanto was mistrusted and supposedly killed by the Wampanoags .
