Title
Pilgrims Learn to Grow Corn
What occurred
Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, taught the pilgrims how to plant maize, also known as corn. The pilgrims soon learned the value of corn, as it would provide plenty of food and was easy to grow. This event is significant because it introduced settlers to a food source we are now dependent on and produce in mass quantity.
