They showed them how to build proper shelters and how to grow crops better (one specific example was planting a dead fish next to corn as fertilizer) Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wonder, what the heck the Pilgrims had learned during their lives ! They hardly knew anything about everything! Things that were so essential!
When the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock, they were poor and hungry -- half of them died within a few months from disease and hunger!. When Squanto, a Wampanoag man, found them, they were in a pitiful state!. He spoke English, having traveled to Europe, and took pity on them!. Their English crops had failed!. The native people fed them through the winter and taught them how to grow their food!.
What exactly did the Pilgrims know, is a mystery! Oh wait, they've learned how to "stuff a Turkey"!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think they taught them basic survival skills such as hunting and growing foods!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
