The colonials refused to wash
Due to their poor hygiene practices, the Colonials obviously didn’t smell very pretty. This repulsed the Native Americans to the point that they tried persuading them to wash more frequently. Of course, it doesn’t come as a surprise that their effort fell on deaf ears.
This was a recorded fact, noted in a 1965 biography by a Mayflower pilgrim who had recently arrived in Plymouth. The colonials could have easily made their lives so much easier by just listening to the Native Americans.
