I believe he was, since we know about him today!

Squanto (or Tisquantum) was born around 1585, a member of the Patuxet tribe, a sub-tribe of the Wampanoags, in present-day Massachusetts. As a young man, he was captured twice by European sailors, brought to Europe, and sold as a slave. The second time, he was rescued by kind monks, but remained in England, seeking a way to return to his people. Over the years, he learned English language and customs. Eventually, in 1619, he was able to find a ship to take him to his own homeland, only to discover that all his family and friends had died in an epidemic. He befriended the Pilgrims, who had settled nearby, becoming an invaluable help to them with his knowledge of English and his skill at living in the "New World". He acted as a translator between the English and the native people, doing much to keep peaceful relations between them. In 1622, he fell sick while returning from one of these meetings and died.

No, the Powhatan warrior who desires to marry Pocahontas in Walt Disney's 1995 film Pocahontas was called Kocoum. His character was voiced by James Apaumut Fall.

In real life, Squanto lived from 1580 to 1622 in Massachusettes while Pocahontas lived from 1595 to 1617 in Virginia. Although their lives overlapped and they both visited England, it is very unlikely that they ever met.

Yes, by all accounts, you would have to say that Squanto was nice. He suffered enourmous personal loss during his lifetime, yet he is best remembered for the service he provided to people who were strange and foreign.

No, Squanto did not have a horse. There were no horses in America while he lived. The pilgrims did not bring horses right away, and the horses that the Spaniards brought to Mexico had not yet migrated to Massachusetts.
