Squanto

Further parody videos include a reenactment of the Thanksgiving story and signing of the Declaration of Independence, where Ballinger dresses up as the Native American Squanto, with a feathered headdress, also talking in gibberish.

It was badly decimated by European diseases by the time the Mayflower arrived, but one of its survivors, Tisquantum, commonly known as Squanto, famously helped the English colonists survive their first winter.

Most Americans have heard the somewhat true story of Tisquantum, popularly known as Squanto, and how he helped the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony by teaching them how to plant and grow North American crops, thus saving them from starvation.

In 1619, five years after he was taken, Squanto finally made it back home, aboard yet another English explorer’s ship.

As with so many stories about Squanto, the truth of this one remains a mystery.
