On the Catholicism of Squanto

"Any schoolchild can recount the story of the first Thanksgiving: a friendly Native American named Squanto taught the starving Pilgrims how to plant corn. Grateful for saving them, the settlers sat down for a hearty autumn feast with their kindhearted benefactor in November 1621.

"The truth is a lot more complicated - and of special interest to Catholics." 

A recent National Catholic Register article reported on the Catholic faith of Squanto.
