Squanto

Squanto was the "mediator" between the colonists and the Wampanoag tribe. He was the best speaker of English in the tribe, and he seems to have taken a liking to helping out the colonists as soon as he came. He established a treaty between the Natives and the Pilgrims to bring peace with both of them. However, the treaty seems to be more towards what the Natives can't do and their punishments if they do those deeds as opposed to the Pilgrims. He seems to take great responsibility for his tribe, and he feels that whatever the tribe does unfairly to the Pilgrims should be done back to the tribe. He seems to be the one to make sure that what is said in the treaty is carried out. If anyone was to be met in the Americas, Squanto was the perfect one. He helped them make peace with the Natives and showed them the land and how and what to eat. Also, he stayed as a mediator between the two groups until he died. That shows some serious commitment to his job and how serious he thought about the colonists.

Journals of Discovery

In the story of The General History of Virginia, the relationship with the Native Americans changes as the people there live there longer. Originally, the Natives are quite hostile towards the newcomers, and they organize attacks against them that end up with many being killed. Also, the colonists are equally as hostile, as they do not try to negotiate anything in the beginning. All they do is build a fort to keep away from the Natives and fire their guns at them whenever they see them in the area. However, John Smith ends up with the Natives, as they capture him. The next part isn't clear whether he was threatened by the chief and saved by Pocahontas, but it is clear that the chief negotiated a trade with Smith. This trade was that the Natives would supply the colonists with food if they gave the Natives two large cannons and a millstone. Pocahontas was the one who brought the food every time.

Native American legend

It looks as though the Native Americans use the moon as a calendar, and they gather special "moon plants" only during a full moon. I find it intriguing that they infuse prayer into their plants to honor them. It is also amazing that they can identify plants with just touching them! They use these plants with their prayers to enter into the Plant Nation, and then they make those plants into medicinal healers. They even say that the Plant Nation can be honored by outsiders who pray. It's interesting to see that the signature has "Human Being" in the name.
