Squanto Part 2

1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,680
Episode 2 of the bonus episodes,
if you're following along,

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:10,160
switching it up, Michael had
this great idea through leading

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,760
up to Thanksgiving, really in
November.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,680
It's, you know, we can go off
script a little bit.

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,120
We're not tackling a theological
topic, but there are, you know,

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,560
theological implications we, we
can draw from this and really

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,520
see God's Providence and work
through the life and the person

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,240
of Squanto.
I mean, to recap really quickly,

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
'cause I don't, I did not know
this at Squanto's hanging out in

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,800
Spain where he left off that
he's, he's not, he's not hitting

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,520
the beaches in Spain, though.
No, no.

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Yeah.
So he gets sold into slavery.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,960
And so Jonathan Hunt is it.
Jon Hunt.

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,840
Thomas Hunt takes him over to
Spain, and some Friars really

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,840
intervene.
So we don't really know what the

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,320
scene was like.
Some of his friends we're sold

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,280
in slavery somehow Friars either
rescue we don't have all the.

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Details.
So the Friars were good.

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,560
I mean, like they were trying
to, they were actively trying to

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,920
get people out of slavery.
Yes.

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,800
So either they bought him with
what money the monastery had, or

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,680
they confiscated him somehow.
They rescued him from just

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,280
normal slavery and then had him
there with him in the the

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,640
monastery.
And it's likely he would have

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,480
learned some Spanish here 'cause
he's here a few years, but he

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440
expressed a desire to them to
obviously go back to his

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,720
homeland.
OK, yeah.

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,680
So they're trying to work with
him to find a way.

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,880
How can we make this happen?
Yeah.

30
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,640
And so they don't have any way
to get him back to what I'll

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800
just call it America, but it
wasn't called America back then.

32
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,280
And so they are able to get him
malloped to England.

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,280
So he travels to England and
live with John Slaney, who is a

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,720
merchant, and he was involved in
American expeditions.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Like, OK, here's someone who's
going over to America a lot.

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,880
And so when he was in England,
he was in London.

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,560
He learned English pretty well.
And so he's, he's trilingual, at

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,240
least at this point.
He might even know some other

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,680
probably native tribe language.
So he's he, Yeah, we know for

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,759
sure he's at least quadrilingual
'cause he can speak with

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,080
Samoset.
Well, maybe even Samoset who,

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,800
who was a similar tribe.
So all of these tribes that

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,880
where he were, were from were
the, I think they're all

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,280
Algonquin, but they're kind of
different, different splinter

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,200
tribes of this.
And so they all lived in the

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,680
wigwams and stuff.
And so he could speak with the

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160
northern ones, like from Canada,
Vermont.

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,320
He could speak with the Western
ones, which is where Massaso.

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,800
It was obviously his own tribe
and Spain and now England, yeah.

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,320
So that's so even like in this,
being in Europe, doing all this,

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,920
this, this really set him up
well to be an asset down the

52
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:53,960
road.
Yes, yeah.

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,920
So it's like tough times.
Not what he would have chosen

54
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,640
for himself, but you can see
where this could be headed

55
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:04,800
because now he can speak this
English language.

56
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,880
He wanted to go home with John
Smith cause John Smith knew

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,840
about him.
I think from what we can tell

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,000
was upset that that he was
kidnapped, was going to take him

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,040
back on one of his trips over.
But he actually ended up in

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Newfoundland for a little bit
helping to set up that colony.

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,040
We don't really have a lot of
details, we just know he was.

62
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,880
There.
Everywhere, yeah.

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,440
So then he goes back to England
in 1619 for five years, and he

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,120
finally makes his way back to
America under the helm of

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,000
captain Thomas Dermer.
And so that kind of sets the

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,720
scene for our last podcast.
So if you're kind of tracking,

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,880
he was kidnapped from his
homeland, went to Spain, from

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Spain to England, England to
Newfoundland, back to England.

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,680
Now he's gonna travel back to
his homeland under Captain

70
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Thomas Dermer.
It's.

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,080
Great.
Can I, can I read this last note

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,800
you have?
I think it's really good to

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,880
close it out.
It's quant to his knowledge of

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,680
English made him invaluable as
an interpreter.

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,960
We talked about that.
And then I guess this is setting

76
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,520
up the next episode.
He he had no idea that he's

77
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440
gonna go back to a tribe that
that is no longer in existence

78
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:17,800
in just five year or just in the
short amount of time.

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Yeah.
So from yeah.

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,480
So he was kidnapped in, what did
we say, 1614?

81
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,400
So in five years, so disease is
going to wipe out his local

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
tribe.
Wow, another downer.

83
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,800
I'm looking forward to the one
where that's an upburn.

84
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,000
Here we go, keep moving on.
Yeah.

85
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520
All right.
So that's our second bonus

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,040
