So, I'm reading 1491 by Charles Mann... I got started because they are doing a First Year Seminar with it (Title: "Archaeology and Sustainability") which I did the library session for.
Last night, my dreams were interrupted, repeatedly, by the words Naugasett and Massachusett (the New England tribes) floating through them.

So, when I came in this morning I looked up the story of Tisquantum again. (Did you know that the practice of burying fish with the hills of corn hasn't been documented in any local tribe, and that he probably picked the idea up from spending time in England?) Unfortunately, it appears he and his compatriots were originally kidnapped and taken to Spain in 1605.

There goes my plan to convince someone to adopt a Pauxtet alternate persona... *sigh*

Yes, I do wish some serious people would research personas from American tribes that had serious kidnapping incidents before 1600-- there appear to have been quite a few. Tisquantum himself appears to have travelled more in Europe than many English or Frenchmen of his age.
