He was held by white men for years? And then he went up to MA and hung out with the Pilgrims?

Where was the English colony where he was held anywhere within 800 miles of Plymouth...in the 1600’s?

Since you don’t know the story, he was captured by explorers and taken back to England, eventually obtaining his freedom but again captured by slavers. Obtaining his freedom again, he returned to North America in 1619 where he found his tribe had all died in an epidemic.

Without his tribe, he was an outsider to the natives, and became employed as an interpreter and guide for English settlers.

That was the story taught for many generations.
