Wife of Grangyno:; The wife of Granganimeo, the Algonquian king Wingina’s brother. She came to trade with the colonists, together with her following, on numerous occasions. When the colonists visited her village unannounced at a time when Granganimeo was absent, she showed them enormous hospitality, feeding them, washing their clothes, and driving away several men of the village who returned from hunting (breaking their bows in the process) in order to prevent any escalation of tensions or unfortunate diplomatic incidents. This kindness prompted Barlow to write that the Indians lived “as in the first creation,” and go on to describe (likely for the purposes of propagating colonization) just how gentle were the inhabitants of the New World, and how plentiful and easy to gather were crops and plants for harvest. ;
