Treacherous Waters: Tisquantum, the Red Atlantic, and the Beginnings of Plymouth Colony
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Smith College Abstract: This article challenges recent scholarship which claims that Tisquantum, like other Native Americans who traveled the early modern Atlantic, was thereby positioned to lead his people in resisting or otherwise engaging with Europeans. The English kidnapping of Tisquantum and twenty-six other Wampanoags in 1614 sparked the onset of full-scale Wampanoag resistance to English colonization, and inspired competing English and Wampanoag narratives about Tisquantum and his legacy. The article follows Tisquantum's movements through highly racialized, imperial spaces in Málaga, London, and Newfoundland as he observed the workings of empires and their overseas ambitions. His return home with Englishmen led him to be distrusted and seized by fellow Wampanoags. After Plymouth colony was established, Wampanoags allowed Tisquantum to translate and help broker an alliance with the newcomers, but soon regretted that decision as Tisquantum sought to build his own power base. Wampanoags and Plymouth made peace only after Tisquantum died in 1622.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
