"a kind of early
Christian self-help book that depicts various groups, including the
Indians,
in fairly bigoted ways."

The word Pilgrim in The Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory of the journey
one takes through life. It has nothing to do with early American settlers
called Pilgrims, and was written by a Briton who never had anything to do
with America. Perhaps you confuse John Bunyon with Paul? Anyways, the
author of the book was known for religious tolerance, which got him jail
time back then.

To say the Indians called anything something is like saying Asians or
Africans or Europeans called something by a word. It's a statement that
makes no sense. There were an are many Amerind languages.
