is it true that the pilgrim fathers would have starved if the native americans had'nt fed them during winter.

Q:

A: The pilgrims practised cannabolism. " ...Nay, so great was our famine, that a Salvage we slew and buried, the poorer sort tooke him up againe and eat him; and so did divers one another boyled and stewed with roots and herbs: And one amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered [i.e., salted] her, and had eaten part of her before it was knowne; for which hee was executed, as hee well deserved: now whether shee was better roasted, boyled or carbonado'd [i.e., grilled], I know now; but of such a dish as powdered wife I never heard of...." -Captain John Smith's Generall Historie of Virginia, New England and the Summer Isles
