I don't even see it as pure generosity anymore. There could have been a survival motive behind it. Before Squanto, the Brits who landed at Turtle Island had been treated either with shunning, captivity, or adoption into local tribes. Squanto visited them and taught them technology and government. There are a lot of theories about why he chose to deal with the settlers so differently from the rest of his countrymen but I don't think he was the "noble savage" he's usually portrayed as.
